Freddie Dixon began a career with Douglas in the early 1920s and by 1925 took up a technical position with the company. One of his first commissions was the design of the S5 and S6 models. The S5 and S6 were launched at the 1929 Olympia Show, setting new standards of quietness and refinement for the motorcycle industry. With its advanced design, the S5 and S6 featured side-valve engines with detachable cylinder heads, fully enclosed valve gear, also with dry-sump lubrication, and a cast-in inlet manifold which helped better cold starting. The S5 and S6 and the added T6 touring equivalent, the T6, proved themselves as a very strong and reliable performer and were soon to be the top sellers in the Douglas catalogue range.

This 1930 Douglas T6 has formed part of a collection of motorcycles, it has been on display since it was purchased and started from time to time. A true survivor of the Vintage Douglas range from 1930, it has not run for a few years, so recommissioning would be advised before use. Current V5C and an RF60 continuation logbook.
