• Current ownership for 35 years
• A recent rebuild by the owner
• Interesting history before purchase

This 350 Douglas was in racing trim when acquired and came without documents, it was then stored by the current owner for 30 years. In 2019 he decided to rebuild it and following research, found that it had been originally registered in Buckinghamshire in 1949. The vendor was able to recover the original registration number from the DVLA and also found that the engine had originally been shipped to Northern Ireland to the originators of the Norton ‘feather bed’, the McCandless brothers.

During its early years, the engine was fitted with +90 or +80 cylinder heads and has now been rebuilt with new alpha bearings crankshaft and new pistons. The wheels were rebuilt with new tyres on alloy rims, and the cycle parts were also rebuilt. Restoration to ‘clubman’ specification was almost complete, with a reconditioned dynamo and magneto being fitted and the electrics were just being sorted when Covid struck. The machine has been stored ever since and the owner is now down-sizing. A box of the remaining components with excess spare and used parts are supplied, so that the restoration of the machine can be completed, following that, it needs to be carefully run in.
