It has a long rear brake torque arm, Web forks and I assume it was a tourer with a white paneled tank. It was a sidecar sand racer and did have a castrol sign bent over the rear wheel. Previous owner had done good work but the gearbox had no kick start and instead of a bush taking the square drive there is a ball race and a short shaft not protruding out of the cover. I have removed the racing seat which extended well over the rear wheel. ( I kept all the bits) It is a re registered one and was confirmed as a 1929 , I believe it appeared not too long ago on the club stand at Stafford. I am learning a lot about Scotts but model types escape me. It has white painted brake plates and torque arm which I have retained. Normally I play with cyclemotor’s of which I have some 12 or so including a twin cylinder cyclemaster. The front brake had about 1 mm drum ovality which I machined out. Its a new experience as Nortons are the other family interests. So far it is quite an experience!

Thanks for the interest. It does run well but having been involved with motorcycles for over 60 years. Timing ( ignition) never seemed as critical and having no experience of Scott’s I am curious to know if its a common trait as my next task is to replace the magneto chain and set the timing in line with what is there now.

Its running well and I am learning the ” ropes” Hand changing is a first in 65 years . While the weather holds I am using it but before I fit a new mag chain ( which is stiff) I will measure the advance.
