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'.
This Vintage Scott Flying Squirrel has been restored to a high standard by the previous owner. Used and enjoyed since completed, it presents as an ideal VMCC Vintage machine that also qualifies for the Banbury Run. We have been advised it is ‘running well’ and is a joy to ride. The Scott comes complete with a current V5C.
