1910 The Wynn |
||
|
Thanks to Martin Shelley for these pictures of a 1910
Wynn. Mr Wynn was apparently a motorcycle and cycle dealer who ran
a business in Alcester in Warwickshire nefore the first world war, and
he built this machine from an assortment of new and old parts in 1910
for his sister to ride. It has a 1904 Minerva 350cc engine, Druid forks
and a clutch hub rear wheel from a contemporary Triumph I think, but the
rest of the machine he made up.
Martin believes it remained in the Wynn family until
the late 50s when a roving TV repair man from nearby Atherstone called
on the house with a repaired TV. He enquired about whether there might
be any old bikes hidden away, and was amazed when he was offered the Wynn
in part payment for the TV repair... The man was of course Charlie
Murray, who shortly afterwards removed his large collection of bikes to
Bungalow Bridge in the Isle of Man where he set up Murray's Motorcycle
Museum, which has only recently closed... |
