A. Radnall and Co. of Dartmouth Street, Birmingham, produced Radco motorcycles from 1913 to 1934 whilst also producing cycle components. The marque was first seen at the 1913 Olympia Show with a simple design featuring a vertically mounted 2½ hp two-stroke engine of 211cc, with rear magneto, petroil lubrication, external flywheel and Radco forks. A chain-driven two-speed Albion gearbox and belt final-drive, or a single-speed with direct belt variations were offered. Post World War I, the 211cc model continued. That model was later joined by a 247cc version in 1920. Gearboxes were changed to Burman with two or three speeds.

This lightweight 1923 Radco No2 was restored by the previous owner some 30+ years ago. It was purchased by the late vendor as a restored machine to go into his lightweight collection of 1920s motorcycles. Registered new in Carmarthenshire, it subsequently spent the majority of its life there. In good all-around condition, but not used for some time it will therefore require the usual checks before placing back on the road. It comes complete with a current V5C, an old continuation RF60 and a duplicate.
