1951 Douglas MK5, registration number 934 YUH (non transferrable). Frame number 9970/5B. Engine number T35/S/1202.
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.
YUH is an older restoration from c.2011 when it was reregistered with DVLA, that presents well, our vendor being the third since then.
Gentle recommissioning should see it on the road without too much effort.
