The Squirrel name was first used by Scott in 1921, but the celebrated, three-speed Flying Squirrel began development in 1922, even as Scott was in debt and stood on the brink of receivership. Launched at the 1926 Earls Court Motorcycle Show, the Flying Squirrel was expensive – nearly twice the cost of a sporting four-stroke of the time – but it was a capable performer with its 596cc water-cooled two-stroke twin, and many were raced. After successive updates, the model lingered into the 1950s, but the 1920s was indisputably its heyday.

This very beautifully presented 1927 Flying Squirrel was restored to concours standard between 1992 and 1995 by its then-owner, the well-known Scott enthusiast Brian Marshall. The quality of the work ensured the bike scooped many awards at rallies, and impressively it still survives with many of its original components with the vendor describing it as “almost as it left the factory.” In the present ownership, it has been started and run regularly but has been mainly stored inside the owner’s house, so light checks may be advised before venturing onto the road. It is accompanied by the current V5C.
