SUMMARY
Well restored 1956 350cc Douglas Dragonfly.
DESCRIPTION
- After WWII, Douglas was in financial difficulty and reduced its output to the 350cc flat-twin engine models with the engine mounted across the frame
- The last new motorcycle produced by the company, the 1955 Dragonfly, was built around an improved version of the existing engine
- Despite its riding comfort being described as 'equal to a car's', only 1,457 Dragonfly motorcycles were sold before the company was taken over and production ended in 1957
- 348cc flat-twin, four-stroke OHV generating 17bhp. 4-speed box with chain final drive
- This late 1956 example has been restored to its current condition
- Fitted with a Triumph front wheel with a better brake but original included
- Complete with some old tax discs
- Recently running but may require some recommissioning before road use
- UK-registered on a V5C
