  • Bought by the vendor to attend VMCC events and the Banbury Run
  • Restored by the current owner c.20 years ago
  • A current V5C on file

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 became more conventional. Initially a two-speed machine, 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'.

This Vintage Scott Flying Squirrel was purchased by the vendor over 20 years ago as a project in order to participate in VMCC events and the Banbury Run, but saw little use. It was then stored early in 2020. We are advised the mechanicals have been checked, overhauled or replaced where necessary. Some recommissioning would be advised. The listed frame number has been taken from the V5C as it is not visible due to a thick layer of paint. Offered with current V5C.
