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 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 with a high standard of finish. Coventry-Eagle motorcycles proved reliable and by the Great War the range was utilising Villiers and JAP engines.


First registered on 12th April 1932, 'AHK 26' was stripped for restoration by the current keeper around 30 years ago. Regrettably offered for sale due to health reasons, the Silent Superb has formed part of the vendor’s collection of classic cars and motorcycles but is believed to have lost its Villiers engine during the restoration process and its whereabouts are unknown. Still registered with the DVLA and provided with its buff logbook, this rare machine is to be sold with no reserve.
