The Squirrel name was used for Scott motorcycles since 1921, however, with the death of the founder Alfred Angas Scott in 1923, the unorthodox Scott two-stroke motorcycles began to become more conventional. Development of the three-speed Scott Flying Squirrel began in 1922 as the company was in severe debt and faced receivership. Launched at the 1926 Earls Court motorcycle show, the Flying Squirrel was expensive - nearly twice the cost of a sporting four-stroke motorcycle of the time. Updated versions were later produced. In 1950, the rights were bought by the Birmingham based Aerco Company and in 1956 they produced what are known as 'the Birmingham Scotts'.

The current owner purchased this Scott in 2007 as a project and was then rebuilt by him with a 12v electric conversion. Since completion, the Scott has been used solely by the vendor on many events and is described as a ‘well-sorted’ machine. At the time of our visit, the machine started up well and settled to a nice idle, with that distinctive exhaust note. The Scott is offered with a current V5C, a large file of paperwork and correspondence regarding the machine. Part of the proceeds of this machine will be going to the Derby Blood Bike Charity.
