Douglas motorcycles were manufactured between 1907 and 1957 in Kingswood, Bristol, and were especially known for their twin-cylinder-engined bikes, initially fore and aft and eventually in an across-the-frame layout.
This 1932 Douglas D32 Greyhound was purchased by the vendor as a partly-restored project just before lockdown. Work started on it almost straight away, but other machines needed attention as the vendor rides his machines a lot and likes to keep them ready for the next trip out. The restoration was subsequently completed to a very high standard. The metalwork has been beautifully painted and plated and all the running gear, including the engine and gearbox, has been carefully overhauled. A rare model today, it makes a fine sight with its striking chrome petrol tank and its distinctive Clan Douglas tartan. It’s offered with a current V5C and some old invoices for parts and work carried out. It is not known why it was re-registered in 1945, but it is thought its paperwork might have been lost in the war.
