AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mead Flyer with a 293cc J.A.P. (John Alfred Prestwich) engine and 2 speeds.
The Mead Flyer is a rare, classic British motorcycle built for the Mead Cycle Company by the Birmingham-based manufacturer Calthorpe.
This model is therefore technically identical to the 1916-1919 Calthorpe-JAP (see last photos).
The Frisian provincial license plate B3272 was issued between April 1, 1919 and November 1, 1920 (see last photos).
Owner: G. Jorna
Location / Municipality: Heerenveen
This very rare motorcycle has stood in a private collection for many years.
The JAP engine has run again after being idle, see video.

A splendid addition for any collection or museum.
The motorcycle is located in Oosterwijk, where it can be viewed. I can assist with transport.

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.
