Abingdon Motorcycles was a British motorcycle manufacturer in Tyseley, Birmingham between 1903 and 1925. It was renamed AKD (Abingdon King Dick) in 1926 and produced single cylinder motorcycles until 1933, when they concentrated on "King Dick" mechanics' tools.
On offer is a 1911 AKD (Abingdon King Dick) motorcycle from the early Pioneer days, that has just emerged as a shed find where it has been for the last 25 years. Purchased by the current vendor in 2003 from a well-known dealer of the time and stored ever since. The machine belonged to a Mr Dan Basset in c.1960 and is when the machine wore its last registration number 'SAP 729', a number no longer assigned to the motorcycle. The AKD is in very good condition after its storage with the engine turning over with some compression. It appears to have been fitted from the factory with a two-speed drive by both belt and crossover shaft and chain drive, with the added advantage of a clutch. It is accompanied by a Pioneer Certificate from 1962, two continuation logbooks and some old DVLA correspondence. Please note: The registration 'SAP 729' on this machine has been removed previously and an age-related number will need to be applied for.
