Revere lightweight motorcycles were marketed between 1915 and 1922, using frames made by Sparkbrook of Coventry and a 269cc two-stroke engine supplied by Villiers of Wolverhampton. Some models were single speed with belt drive, but others featured two-speed gearboxes by Sparkbrook, Sturmey-Archer or Albion. 1915 The company chose the then-new 269cc Villiers two-stroke engine for their machine which had a two-speed countershaft gearbox and chain-cum-belt transmission. War-time meant that the venture was short-lived, and so it was put aside for a time. For 1920, a two-speed Sparkbrook gearbox was also being specified along with a version with single-speed direct-belt drive listed for the first time. The single-speed model had been available throughout with 1922 being their final year.

On offer is this very complete and late Revere machine that has formed part of The Fred Evans Collection, and perhaps one of the last the company had made, owing to it being chain driven. Restored before the late owner purchased it, it has been in a collection of machines stored in the attic of a barn. Some recommissioning would be advised before use. Sadly, no documentation has been found with this lot.
