Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a vintage 1959 Greeves 'Sports Twin' motorcycle, powered by a Villiers 247cc twin engine. It was partially restored in 2016/2017, including frame and tinware powder coating, but has seen little use since. It comes with a V5C, receipts for parts, and a Villiers engine manual.
Condition
6
The Greeves Sports Twin, while having undergone some restoration, has been stored and unused for a number of years. Therefore, it would require some reconditioning before being put back into service. The fact that it was a project bike suggests that it was not in pristine condition to begin with.

Greeves commenced production in 1953 with a range consisting of four single-cylinder models (two road, two competition) plus a solitary roadster twin powered by the 250cc Anzani engine.
They were famous for their competition machines and were pre-eminent in both trials and scrambles.
Alongside the off-road bikes came a range of Villiers-engined road machines, commencing with the 197cc Standard Roadster.
The ‘Sports Twin’ from 1959 incorporated the popular, smooth and powerful Villiers ‘2T’ 247cc twin.
SKU was owned by Peter Alton in 2015 before our client bought it as a project in 2016.
Over the next several months he stripped and overhauled most of the machine, including powder coating the frame and tinware, but has not really used it.
Sold with the V5C, receipts for parts over 2016/17 and a Villiers engine manual.
