Greeves Motorcycles Ltd started manufacturing competition motorcycles in late 1951 and by 1953 had branched into using proprietary engines from Villiers and British Anzani
The competition bias of the company led to worldwide success in Moto Cross and Trials events
In 1963, Greeves developed their first road-racing model, the 249cc Greeves Silverstone, powered by a Villiers engine
The following year saw the launch of their own engine using an Albion gearbox. In its inaugural year it won the Manx Grand Prix with rider, Gordon Keith, recording an 87. 6mph lap
This restored example is presented in good overall condition
Restored to a good standard and fitted with a Villiers 250cc Starmaker engine
Still fitted with its original Greeves front brake and leading link front suspension
Stored for last few months so will need some light recommissioning before use
Great classic British road racing machine
