• A wonderful opportunity to rescue a rare centenarian motorcycle

G. Henderson’s first motorcycles appeared in 1911 and were fitted with powerful inline-four engines. Revered for the quality of their engineering, their high-speed capabilities made them popular with American police departments. Introduced in 1922, the 28hp Deluxe featured improvements over the previous model concerning the carburettor, intake manifold, brakes, crankshaft, cylinder head cooling, exhaust system, seat and reverse gear, and alloy pistons were optional. In the hands of the San Diego Police, a Deluxe exceeded 100mph, and another Deluxe won 11 out of 12 heats in a competition against a Harley-Davidson.

This 1924 Deluxe has been in single-family ownership since the late 1940s. The vendor’s grandfather rode it until his death, whereupon his son stripped it for a restoration which stalled. The bike then languished until the son passed away, and it passed to the present generation. The engine has been assembled without its pistons and con-rods, but retains its crank and camshaft. The gearbox internals were removed and have been stored with other parts, as seen in the pictures. The Henderson is sold strictly as viewed, with all remaining parts, and presents an excellent opportunity to save a rare centenarian bike of exceptional quality. The registration number is no longer held by the DVLA but may be recoverable.
