Help Needed - Can Anyone Identify This 1950S Bike?

Featured Replies

G Naylor at a trial in Yorkshire during the 1950s



Hi
Please can anyone help. I am trying to identify the bike in the photo.

It was ridden by G Naylor during a trial held somewhere in the Yorkshire Dales during the 1950s.

The exhaust looks quite distinctive but as a non motorcycle person I am struggling. My Dad (The dashing young cove in the photo) is 85 next week and we are trying to arrange a surprise for the big day.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you

It looks more like an old James based on the tank and exhaust system. Does it have a rigid end?

looks like a bitsa looks like a 197cc Villiers engine,and looks like the Scott trial

"Kit 7" or "Dobcross" mention that at the party ;)

Have a good do.

Many thanks to 2fargone, benbeta125, cvgmmartin and wetfeet for your suggestions. It's very kind of you and much appreciated. All will be investigated and hopefully the party will go with a swing!

Cheers and happy trialing :beer:
