The Douglas Engineering Company began life in Bristol in 1882, building its first motorcycle engine in 1905, they specialised in horizontally-opposed twin cylinder machines. Post WWII they restarted motorcycle production with the T35, a ohv flat-twin 350 cc, set across a duplex fame with torsion bar rear suspension. The standard bike evolved through several incarnations to become the Mark 5 in 1951, being replaced by the Dragonfly in 1955.
An older restoration, the mag dyno has recently been overhauled by Armoto at a cost of nearly £700. It should be noted that an HPI check will show as a dumper truck to be scrapped, the next owner will need to alter this with DVLA.
