Hi, There are lots of 1927 Flyer parts on Ebay at the moment, including a long wheelbase frame, which looks bent at the back end, straight-back crankcase, radiator, flywheel with no sprockets and very bad gland slot wear, 498cc barrel with pistons and water-dome, gearbox and clutch, back wheel, front wheel, Best and Lloyd Mk2 oil pump, incomplete BTH magneto, and a TT AMAC carburettor that is wrongly described as an Amal, and a petrol/oil tank. Just type ‘Scott Flying Squirrel’ into the search box, and you should find it all. The quality of most of the photos is terrible, so be careful if bidding !!! As there is also a VMCC dating certificate for the machine, I find it a little strange that it is being sold off as separate parts, rather than as a restoration project…..

I don’t know what the radiator went for Brian, but he got over £2,165 for the rest! Not a bad price considering there were no mudguards, forks, saddle, toolboxes, cranks, con-rods etc. So I guess that answers your implied question, why was it not sold off as a restoration project.

There was a comment by the vendor saying that there were more parts to be sold soon, so perhaps it really was a complete or nearly complete bike….. We will soon see I suppose, if the rest appears from this Channel Islands vendor.
