Originally built from a Douglas 2 3/4 frame then modified with Mr Pidcocks own frame
Mr Pidock converted the motorcycle to use on his daily journey to work at a engineering company in Peterborough during the time of petrol rationing.
The bike was featured in Motor Cycling magazine in 1942 and 1943
Speed is selected by a lever 3 positions 6v, 12v and 18v and the clutch lever operating a Lucas solenoid switch to bring in the motor. The motor is a Morris lorry starter motor.
