SUMMARY
Nicely presented restored Greeves Silverstone Starmaker.
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
- The following year saw the launch of their own engine using an Albion gearbox. In its inaugural year it won the Manx Grand Prix with rider, Gordon Keith, recording an 87.6mph lap
- This restored example is presented in good overall condition
- Restored to a good standard and fitted with a Villiers 250cc Starmaker engine
- Still fitted with its original Greeves front brake and leading link front suspension
- Stored for last few months so will need some light recommissioning before use
- Great classic British road racing machine
