Coventry-Eagle was a British bicycle and motorcycle manufacturer. Established as a Victorian bicycle maker, the company began under the name of Hotchkiss, Mayo & Meek. The company name was changed to Coventry Eagle in 1897 when John Meek left the company. By 1898 they had begun to experiment with motorised vehicles and by 1899, had produced their first motorcycle. The motorcycles were hand built from components and finished carefully, Coventry-Eagle motorcycles proved reliable and by WWI the range included Villiers Engineering and JAP engines.

This c.1932 Coventry Eagle Silent Superb was recently discovered in a loft, hidden away for many years. It had a replacement engine in 1952 according to the RF60 logbook, and was uprated to 197cc. All available parts are pictured. A V5C will have to be applied for through the right channels.
