Hi, found some old negatives of family pics recently, just wondered if
anyone might be able to tell me the make of this motorcycle which
my great uncle Jack & his mother are sitting on?

You never know maybe someone still owns it today ?

Thanks

Looks very similar to these 1915 - 1920s Triumphs ????

Seems to have two exhaust pipes, so I'm guessing a mid-to-late '20s 4-valve Triumph Ricardo, which was a serious sportsman's machine.

The best picture I've found to compare is this one: -

The reg. no. isn't on DVLA's records.

Steve.
