Calthorpe cars and motorcycles were built by Minstrel and Rea in Birmingham. Motorcycle output was mainly light to middleweight until, in 1929, a 500 OHC machine was listed. In the recession-hit '30s, Calthorpes were exclusively retailed by the prominent London retailers Pride and Clarke.

Purchased by the current vendor way back in 1972, it was used on countless journeys by the owner, for trips to Wales and Scotland. The Calthorpe has very rarely left his side in all the years he has owned it. Despite its barn-find-look, it is running and comes complete with many spares including the panel for the tank and the original frame. The frame has been changed due to it being cracked on the lower tube under the petrol tank. This would be an easy fix, but the previous owner purchased the machine and the spares as one lot in 1972. The current owner has had it for a year and has only replaced the magneto pick-up and used it a couple of times around the farmyard. Due to a busy life, he has no time to enjoy it. The Calthorpe is offered with a current V5C, continuation logbook and some spares.
