Douglas announced their new horizontally opposed across the frame twin during September 1945 with production of the new model, typed the T35 Mk I commencing in 1947. The new model was notable not only for the engine configuration but also the rolling chassis which featured a pivoted fork rear frame sprung with torsion bars and leading link forks, typed "Radiadraulic" by Douglas, with compression springs and hydraulic damping.
A revised model, benefiting from improved cylinder heads developed by Freddie Dixon was introduced during 1948, typed the Mk III, followed by the Mk IV in 1950 with a revised rear sub-frame and new toolboxes and the Mk V, as offered here in 1951, which featured a revised front mudguard and mounting.
This example dating from 1952 is described by the vendor as being in good condition in all respects. The engine benefited from an rebore and new pistons shortly before the machine was acquired by the current owner and it retains its original registration number.
PLEASE NOTE: This machine is now offered with a MOT valid until November 2008 and a road fund licence valid until the 31st October 2008.
