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?

ReplyDeleteHello 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
DeleteThanks,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?
ReplyDeletePS I think you are right,Zenith.
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly certain about that now but haven't been able to find out the model.
