Douglas’s continuing financial difficulties resulted in the Bristol concern being acquired by the British Aircraft Company in 1935 and reformed as Aero Engines Ltd. Most of the motorcycle tooling was sold off and production of the predominantly flat-twin-powered range was continued by London-based dealers Pride & Clarke Ltd using the existing stock of parts, all of these models being prefixed ‘Aero’, regardless of engine capacity.
This one's a much older restoration, but highly-prized given the completeness and condition of original components as seen if you follow the link to the hi-resolution photos HERE.
