Douglas motorcycles were manufactured between 1907–1957 in Kingswood, Bristol and were especially known for their twin-cylinder engined bikes, initially fore and aft and eventually in an across-the-frame layout . The first of these models launched in 1945 was the T35 featuring a pivoted fork rear frame, sprung with torsion bars and leading link "Radiadraulic" front forks with compression springs and hydraulic damping. The company also built a range of cars between 1913 and 1922 and famously built Vespa scooters under license in the 1950s. The start of the 1950s saw the Mk5 variant, with the Competition and high-performance 80 Plus and 90 Plus versions.

An excellent opportunity to acquire a decent example of the much sought-after 80 Plus. There is a tie-on label included, suggesting that the machine has been through the hands of the well-respected dealer Brian Verrall. Interestingly, the machine is fitted with a matching speedometer and rev-counter. Recommissioning is advised before use.
