Description
Show winning example; very smart example of the
much-admired Greeves Anglian; a fine
reminder of Britain’s off-road
engineering prowess during the golden age of trials competition; from
the late
Graham Broadhead Collection
A very smart example of the
much-admired Greeves Anglian, this 1966
machine presents beautifully following a recent restoration and stands as a fine
reminder of Britain’s off-road engineering prowess during the
golden age of trials competition.
The Anglian was one of Greeves’ most successful
and respected models, its lightweight construction, distinctive
leading-link forks and torquey 250cc engine
making it a favorite among clubmen and serious competitors alike. This example
looks every inch the part, finished in the classic grey frame with bright red
tank and panels, a colour combination that suits the purposeful lines
perfectly.
The
current V5C records only two former keepers, a pleasingly low number for a
60-year-old trials machine. The vendor
believes the bike was formerly part of the late
Graham Broadhead Collection, a name well-known in classic trials circles,
adding a further layer of interest and provenance.
Its quality is further underlined by
its previous success on the show circuit, having won Best Trials Machine at the
Stafford Show, a testament to both its presentation and authenticity. The
restoration has clearly been carried out with care, the bike now looking crisp,
clean and ready either for display or gentle use.
A charming and increasingly collectable British
trials bike, offered here in very smart order and with the sort of provenance,
presentation and show pedigree that will appeal strongly to enthusiasts and
collectors alike.
