Coventry-Eagle was a British bicycle and motorcycle manufacturer. Established as a Victorian bicycle maker, the company began under the name of Hotchkiss, Mayo & Meek. The company name was changed to Coventry Eagle in 1897 when John Meek left the company. By 1898 they had begun to experiment with motorised vehicles and by 1899, had produced their first motorcycle. The motorcycles were hand built from components and finished carefully, Coventry-Eagle motorcycles proved reliable and by the First World War the range included Villiers Engineering and JAP engines.
Formally owned by the late Geoff Davies past president of the VMCC, this little, lovely Coventry Eagle had been owned by Geoff for many years. As with other machines in his ownership, this too was a favourite lightweight motorcycle. Used for local club runs and many other events throughout his ownership, the machine has not been used since last year and will require the usual checks before using on the road once more. It comes with a V5C and various other paperwork.
