• Rare and unrestored Greeves 250 racer
• One of only 58 RES models thought to have been made
• New alloy fuel tank, supplied with a CD ROM manual

The Greeves Silverstone was launched in 1963 following the success of Reg Everett's converted scrambler, still utilising their trademark alloy cast down-tube frame and leading-link fork. Priced at £285, the bike became the mainstay of 250cc racing in the 1960s, providing many riders with their first taste of competition. This original example has been entered from the Brian Ditchfield collection, a retired engineer who ran a successful Sidecar GP team, finishing in the top six in the 2003 World Championship. Of the approximately 58 'RES' versions of the Silverstone made in 1967 only 19 are thought to still exist with this one showing an early frame number of 102. It is presented in essentially original trim, still fitted with Dunlop Racing triangular tyres from the era and an un-silenced expansion chamber, although the fibreglass petrol tank had suffered with modern fuel so an aluminium replica has been made that still needs a fuel tank boss fitting to complete. The RES marked the zenith of the Silverstone's development and would continue in unaltered form into 1968, with production of the model ending that year. The bike has stood for a while, so will need recommissioning and comes supplied with various magazines and a CD ROM manual.
