Greeves Motorcycles was founded by Bert Greeves in 1951 and produced a range of road machines and later competition mounts for trials, scrambles and road racing. The original company produced motorcycles from 1952, funded by a contract with the Ministry of Pensions for their Invacar, a three-wheeler for disabled drivers originally conceived for Bert’s disabled cousin and sales manager Preston Derry-Cobb. Using some of the knowledge and production techniques gained from the Invacar and utilising Villiers supplied engines they went onto great success in off road competition including Dave Bickers wins in the 1960 and 1961 European Scrambles World Championship.

This rare and original 320 Sports Twin has been owned by the vendor since 1966. Featuring all the classic Greeves designs including the cast alloy frame members, leading link front forks and large paddle style brake drums it was mechanically recommissioned in 2009 in preparation for a Lands End to John O Groats vintage run. The engine was given an overhaul by Villiers and the vendor reports that it ran faultlessly on the 1500 trip. Essentially in its original finish, the bike will need some recommissioning and comes supplied with some old MOTs, invoices, owner’s manuals, service information as well as its original buff log book and a current V5C.
