Originally a bicycle manufacturer, Coventry Eagle built a diverse range of machines using proprietary engines, mainly those of J A Prestwich, from 1901 to 1939. A landmark development for the company was the introduction in 1927 of a two-stroke lightweight featuring a novel pressed-steel frame, and this method of construction spread to larger models the following year. Although Coventry Eagle manufactured its own small-capacity two-stroke engines, the majority of its 'strokers' used Villiers power, like the example offered here. Last taxed in December 1956, the machine was acquired for the collection in September 2014 and is offered for restoration. Accompanying documentation consists of the purchase receipt and a (part) old-style logbook from the 1930s. It should be noted that the registration 'GK 8484' is not recorded in the HPI database and thus is no longer associated with this motorcycle.
