1982 Cagiva SX250 |
||
|
This is an example of Southampton's very own bike manufacturer. Ackland
was based in Southampton from 1895 to 1936 and made Cycles. From about 1904
to 1925 it also made some motorcycles. The hubs, engine, gearbox were all
bought in and assembled in the factory, based at 92 St Mary's Road. The
owner was William Charles Ackland (1871-1942) and his son was William George
P Ackland (1903-1994)
This 1922 example exists in Southampton museum, and that is the extent
of their knowledge. It has a JAP 680cc V twin engine, Sturmey Archer 3
speed box and carbide lighting. If you know any more about this
make of bike, please let me know. |
