The Squirrel name was used for Scott motorcycles since 1921, however, with the death of the founder Alfred Angas Scott in 1923, the unorthodox Scott two-stroke motorcycles began to become more conventional. Development of the three-speed Scott Flying Squirrel began in 1922 as the company was in severe debt and faced receivership. Launched at the 1926 Earls Court motorcycle show, the Flying Squirrel was expensive - nearly twice the cost of a sporting four-stroke motorcycle of the time. Updated versions were later produced. In 1950, the rights were bought by the Birmingham-based Aerco Company and in 1956 they produced what are known as 'the Birmingham Scotts'.
On offer is a very nicely presented 1957 Scott Flying Red Squirrel, it was restored to a very high standard a few years ago and is holding up well. With just three owners from new, with a period of ownership in Spain and one being in Spain, we have been informed by the current vendor the machine is in running condition with a recent MOT and is ‘ready for the road’. The Red Squirrel is offered at the auction with a current V5C and an old RF60 logbook.
