New Imperial was a British motorcycle manufacturer founded by Norman Downes in Birmingham in 1887 and became New Imperial Motors Ltd in 1912, when serious production commenced. New Imperial made innovative motorcycles that employed unit construction and sprung heel frames long before they became commonplace and were moderately successful in competition. The 1920s was a financially successful decade, the innovations helped fight the general decline in sales they suffered financially from the effects of the Great Depression of the 1930s, and then the founder died in 1938. New Imperial was sold and then ended production in late 1939, its former facilities subsequently serving the needs of a nation at war.
This little 1922 Model 3 New Imperial has had a lot of work carried out by the current owner in the last few years. It has had very little use since its completion and has mainly been displayed at shows and events. Most of the work that has been carried out is by the current owner, as it was purchased as a stalled restoration project. Most of the mechanicals have been gone through and parts replaced or restored where necessary. It has not been used for a short while and will require general checks before placing it back on the road. It is offered with a current V5C.
