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 and success in the BBC Grandstand Winter Motocross series.
Little is known about this machine other than it was previously owned by well respected collector and Greeves authority Graham Broadhead and thought to have been restored by him prior to display in his collection. Thought to be in running order, the vendor advises a check over / recomissioning prior to use. Offered without reserve.
