The 16H 500cc side valve single, had, by the mid-thirties, evolved from a sporting single into a solid, dependable workhorse, equally adept as a solo or as a sidecar tug. Like the other side valve and overhead valve models in the range it benefitted from regular detail improvements, receiving Norton forks equipped with check springs for the 1934 season and a foot change, four speed gearbox for the 1935 season.
This "barn find" example has remained in the same family ownership from new with only two registered owners. The vendor reports that it has been running recently, although the condition of the engine and transmission are unknown. The original paintwork and brightwork are described as being "poor", consistent with its unrestored status. Requiring re-commissioning, it is offered with documents going back to 1937, including an original buff log book and retains its original registration number for which a Swansea V5C is supplied.
