Douglas, model type F28, first registered in 1926, with engine size not specified.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Douglas F28 has been in our possession for three generations, and the engine was fully restored in the 1950s/60s. Since then, there have been several rides with the VMC, with the highlight being a demonstration ride during the TT Races anniversary in Assen. After that, due to lack of time it was driven less and, eventually, the engine sat in the showroom of a motorcycle company for years. Now the engine has to go because of lack of space.
This Douglas has been made drivable again.
In the meantime I have also obtained a copy of the original manual, which shows that footboards should be fitted. These are now mounted, of course not original since I can’t find any. Also one of the side bags is missing its leather lid.
There is also some ambiguity about the year of manufacture: on the registration it says 1926, on the Veteran Motor Club certificate it says 1928, and via the English Douglas club the year is 1923. According to the expert from Catawiki, the year of manufacture is probably 1928.
A few years ago new tires were fitted.
The motorcycle is located in Leidschendam.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
