Core hire stock

These are the bikes that we don't intend to sell.  They are popular hires and are very relaxed about meeting stars.

1940 Sun Touring Bike

This 1940 Sun Touring bike is very original. It dates from about 1940.

​This has been in many productions, and on the Tweed Ride with German TV.
Picture

Humber Roadster​

This fantastic Humber Roadster dates from between 1914 to 1916, according to the type of hub.

​It's very original, though the tyres, saddle and grips are later replacements.

We are told that the rims are date stamped inside, though have yet to take it to bits to see this.

​Humber Ladies Roadster

This 1942 Humber Ladies Roadster is very popular.

It was put in an attic about 1955, and is therefore in very original condition.

It still has "Dunlop War Grade" tyres and is cosmetically excellent.

​It suits productions from the forties to now. More images here
