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
