Beschreibung:

The Birmingham firm of New Hudson started out as a bicycle manufacturer. Their first powered machine of 1903 used a clip-on Minerva engine, and this was followed by the first proper motorcycle in 1910. For 1931 New Hudson announced a new range, but the onset of economic depression did little to encourage sales and in 1933 the company ceased to build motorcycles. This handsome overhead-valve twin-port New Hudson was purchased at a UK auction in 2014 and since then has been kept on display inside the owner's house. At time of purchase the machine was said to have been fully restored approximately five years previously by a retired engineer. However, the motorcycle's mechanical condition is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this Lot, which will require re-commissioning before returning to the road.
