Veteran Douglas Motorcycle spares & projects WANTED.
- Find a buyer in the UK for pre-1915 Douglas spare parts.
- Unfinished projects of Douglas 2-3/4 HP, 3-1/2 & 4 HP.
I happen to have a Veteran Douglas 2-3/4 H.P. project that I would like to complete with original parts. The motorcycle has original paint on the fuel tank and no paint on the frame. So, this is a “patina machine” as everyone likes to call them these days. I like to call this a preservation, rather than a renovation.
Veteran Douglas Motorcycle spares & projects parts WANTED
If you have some old Douglas parts in your shed, garage, or even house, let me know if you would like to sell them. I now have a keen interest in building some more of these interesting antique motorcycles. They varied slightly over the years, so I would like to buy some more and have a range of models.
If you are looking for someone to buy a collection of Veteran Douglas Motorcycle spares & projects, please give me a call, or send me a message from this page.
My current project was supplied in 1915. It is a relatively basic model with a 2-speed gearbox and no clutch or kickstart. Starting it is a relatively simple exercise. You leave it on the rear stand and set the throttle / air valve, turn the fuel on and spin the rear wheel with your hand.
Setting off is more of an art than a science!
PARTS WANTED – Veteran Douglas Motorcycle spares & projects
Anyway, my little Douglas project is incomplete. To complete it, I still need a few parts. They include:
- Handlebar levers
- Complete rear brake assembly
- Rear brake pedal 1913-1919
- Complete Douglas 1913-1919 Oil drip assembly
- Gear lever control 1913-1926
- Front brake assembly 1912-1919
- Original petrol cap with the glass fitted (the more patina the better)
- Gear rod set 1912-1926
- Front wheel stand 1912-1919
- Drive sprocket
- Exhaust
- Rear rack
- Tool boxes
- Carburettor
I can buy almost all of the above as newly made items but they won’t match the condition of my motorcycle. So, I am looking for your old Veteran Douglas Motorcycle spares & projects to complete my one and start another.
If you are in the UK, I will be happy to come and meet you. We can discuss which parts you are prepared to sell. I am very easy-going and will leave you plenty of time to make a decision. My projects take months, so a few extra days are no problem.
If you are looking to keep your Douglas motorbike, you might like to consider joining the Douglas Motorcycle Club. There are plenty of knowledgeable people there for any assistance that you might need.
