Quadrant was one of the earliest British motorcycle manufacturers, established in Birmingham in 1901. Quadrant developed some of the first motorcycles in 1901. After WWI they produced a range of 654 cc and 780 cc single-cylinder motorcycles. In 1921 a 565cc model was available following the same general design as its predecessors. In 1924 two models were offered, the 490cc side-valve and a hefty 624cc side-valve. The company was wound up in 1928.
On offer is an unusual machine of the Vintage era, it has 624cc and was mainly built for sidecar use. It is not known when this machine was restored, but the restoration at the time must have been to a concours level. It is still in very beautiful condition and would make a great addition to any collection or a new owner for use on the 2025 Banbury Run. There is a duplicate logbook from 1974 showing a Mr Slater as the owner until it was purchased some time after. It is not known when the late owner purchased the Quadrant, but it has been in his private collection ever since. Some light recommissioning will be required before use. Offered complete with an old style V5 and a duplicate old logbook.
