Britain’s best-known bicycle maker, Raleigh also manufactured motorcycles from 1899 to 1905, and from 1919 to 1933. More recently, the Nottingham company offered a range of mopeds plus a scooter in the late 1950s/1960s. During the 1920s Raleigh’s line-up expanded to include machines of various capacities, both sidevalve and overhead-valve engined, ranging from a 175cc unit-construction lightweight to a hefty 998cc v-twin. One of the mainstays was the 350cc, 2.75hp model, a compact sidevalve-engined lightweight that, while not devastatingly fast ‘flat out’, accelerated smartly and handled well by the standards of its day. At the time of going to press the precise engine capacity of this belt-driven vintage Raleigh had not been established, but 250 or 350cc seems most likely. This partly dismantled machine is offered with a quantity of removed parts.
