Montgomery?

A tricky identify this one. Certainly late twenties and without doubt rather a glamorous machine. The bike is quite distinctive but I've failed to find a good match. The tank to me looks most like Montgomery, or perhaps a Zenith? Can anyone out there elaborate?

Dressed the part for some serious vintage touring. But
what is the bike?

    1. Hello Ken, the scan is fairly high res. If you right click and open in a new tab you can get it larger than full screen size. Unfortunately the original is slightly blurry. I've rather come to the conclusion that it is a Zenith, the shape of the rear rack is fairly distinctive as is the shape of the tank and knee grips. I didn't know that Zenith had large ohv singles in their range. All you see nowadays are the v twins. The bike seems to be the same as a 680 but with a single motor fitted. Cheers, Richard

  2. Thanks,didn't know that trick on here. Looks as if the reg could be PF which is Surrey,1926/, which don't help much, I am just as intrigued by the 3rd person hiding behind, passenger? or another bike?

    1. I'm fairly certain about that now but haven't been able to find out the model.
