SUMMARY

A great Classic British road-race bike that has clearly led an interesting life.

DESCRIPTION

Greeves Motorcycles Ltd started manufacturing competition motorcycles in late 1951 and by 1953 had branched into using proprietary engines from Villiers and British Anzani
The competition bias of the company led to worldwide success in Moto Cross and Trials events
In 1963, Greeves developed their first road-racing model, the 249cc Greeves Silverstone, powered by a Villiers engine
According to Greeves records, the 24RDS was a 1966 Silverstone racers powered by a 246cc Greeves/Albion two-stroke
#34RDS appears to have enjoyed a competition life in the past and looks complete
It has formed part of a private Collection in recent years with little or no use, it is therefore suggested that an element of recommissioning will be required before returning to the race circuit
