Martin motorcycles were built by Victor Martin of Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, from 1932 to 1939. In 1932 the JAP firm arranged for sales of their Speedway engines to be handled by Victor Martin Ltd, who had been involved with the development of the engine. Complete machines were built using the engine and fitting it to a frame made to the Rudge speedway form. Victor Martin machines were also sold in Germany and Sweden, where Speedway was also popular, even to this day.
Believed to have been built in 1947, this machine is based on a Rudge Steering head and fitted with a very effective JAP 5-stud engine with both a dirt track magneto & Webb Speedway forks. Little else is known of its history, however, it has formed part of a private Speedway collection for some years. There are no documents with this machine.
