Had been searching for early photos of ABC motorbikes since ABC were in the Village I was born in. Howards comments were somewhat Brusque to put it mildly,ABC went on to be a successful company producing more than a few good motor bikes

Hi Howard,
it was a display item as part of the Brooklands Museum stand at the show. I shall be visiting them sometimes soon and will make some enquiries….
Cheers

G’day Nigel
Made in 1912 my eye!
It’s made up of mostly 1920′s Douglas parts using an ABC engine, most probably a stationary motor.
I hope the owners are not trying to pass it off as original?
Howard.

I watched this bike run wide onto the rumble strip on the exit of the hairpin. The bumps upset the bike so much it shook its drive belt off! It’s still off in your pictures, which are very good by the way, Nigel.
