This handsome post war Scott Flying Squirrel was first registered 4.6.1949. The vendor believes the recorded mileage of only 31,919 to be genuine. Since 1960 the bike has had only four owners. The previous owner, a friend of the vendor, owned it from the mid 1970s until 2013. Since then, the bike has been subject to a thorough overhaul including fitting new rings and small ends. Last run in January this year, the vendor reports that the engine is running OK, transmission OK, electrics OK all working/rewired/dynamo charging. A noteworthy upgrade is the unquestionably superior Silk oil pump (Silk's November 1970 invoice supplied). Paperwork includes a V5C, correspondence, receipts, press cuttings, photocopies etc. Spares including fork legs, yokes, original Pilgrim pump, cylinder heads etc. are included. Prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the machine's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding.
