Wolf motorcycles were produced from 1903 to 1940 by Wearwell of Wolverhampton. This marque took over from all the others, including Wulfruna. A new two-stroke model was the most striking departure of the Wulfruna Co., of Wolverhampton. The frame is solidly constructed and has a bottom bracket specially adapted for the fitting of a two-speed gear if required. The machine has a very neat appearance and is an ideal machine for touring or town work.
The 2¼hp Peco engine is used, and on the two-speed model, the most striking external feature is that the flywheel lies close to the cylinder carrying the sprocket for the driving chain on the outside. This, of course, simplifies the fitting of chain cases, and the Wulfruna have taken full advantage of the opportunity.
This c. 1915 Wolf Model B has been in the attic of a barn from The Fred Evans Collection, for some time. A restoration was begun to a good standard and some work is still needed to complete the restoration. The Wolf is offered with a large file of the history of the Wolf, many letters of correspondence between owners, sales booklets and brochures. One particularly large folder contains the history of Wolf motorcycles from 1901-1939 and the history of Wolf bicycles from 1978-1972. Sold as is and with no DVLA documentation.
