New Hudson was a Birmingham-based company that started as a bicycle manufacturer in 1890. They branched into motorcycles in 1903 and were later purchased by BSA in 1943. The overhead-valve 1926 Super Vitesse 350cc was conceived as a speedy, high-performance model. It was launched at a time when New Hudson was having great success in competition, especially with Bert le Vack, who set the 50-mile standing start record at Brooklands on 13th August, 1926, averaging 94.45mph. He was also the first rider to lap Brooklands at more than 100mph, riding a 500cc New Hudson.
This New Hudson Super Vitesse has been fully restored to concours condition by the National Motorcycle Museum and is now being offered for sale, at 'no reserve', to make space for a new workshop in Hall 3 of the Museum. Since it has been restored, the New Hudson has not been used, so some recommissioning and running-in will be in order. There are not many opportunities to acquire Vintage motorcycles which present as if they have just come off the showroom floor, and the New Hudson Super Vitesse is a rarity in any condition, so this one must be worth some serious consideration. The sale includes a V5C.
