Calthorpe cars and motorcycles were built by Minstrel and Rea in Birmingham. Motor cycle output was mainly light- to middle-weight until, in 1929, a 500 OHC machine was listed. At the same time the 'Ivory' range appeared, so-called because of their colour in an age when black was the industry's default finish. In the recession-hit 'thirties, Calthorpes were exclusively retailed by the prominent London retailers Pride and Clarke.
This is a rare 250cc Calthorpe Ivory project. With just a handful of machines known to the club, this would be an ideal and very rewarding machine once completed. All parts that are available are pictured with the machine. There are currently no documents or paperwork with this lot. A V5C will need to be applied for.
