Although chiefly known for their off-road machines, Greeves also made a successful entry into road racing with the 250 cc Silverstone model. These were a production Clubman's model with a reputation for reliability and were chosen to be the standard motorcycles for the Mortimer-Beart Road Racing School. When winning the 1964 Manx Grand Prix, London-based Rhodesian Gordon Keith also took the Greeves racer to the fastest lap of the race – his last of the four-lap race – at 87.6 miles per hour, which proved to be the best speed ever by a British 250cc motorcycle, with a race-average of 86.19 miles per hour. From the next five places, four were Aermacchis. As well as a boost for the Greeves factory, this was an important win when the sport was beginning to become dominated by foreign competition.

Little is known this racing machine other than it was previously owned by well respected collector and Greeves authority Graham Broadhead and thought to have been on display in his collection. Apparently complete, the vendor advises a check over / recommissioning prior to starting. Offered at no reserve.
