Made in Scotland 1902-1926
The Victoria motorcycle was built in Dennistoun, Glasgow and was Scotland's leading make for many years. The design was typically English as were most of the components including engines from Precision prior to WWI, and then Villiers, JAP, Blackburne and Coventry-Victor in capacities ranging from 127cc to 688cc. These were mounted in Scottish frames of excellent quality.
The Edinburgh Museum displays a 1921 model Victoria which is fitted with J. A. P. engine. It has a Sturmey-Archer 3-speed gearbox and the primary drive is by chain and clutch, the secondary by belt and pulley. The machine has long swept back handlebars and an exhaust system consisting of a short pipe leading to a can silencer under the front of the engine
