Purchased new by steam roller driver Charles George Edward Banks
When he married in 1929 his wife refused to allow him to ride the bike anymore so it was put into storage until 1984 when it was purchased by the present owners brother
As a member of the Bristol flat tank club he used the bike in a few runs and covered approximately 500 miles
He died in 1994 and the bike has not been used since
The present owner started the engine two years ago
Documents include old tax discs, V5, old MOTs, various letters and a page from the VMCC magazine October 1994 showing the obituary of the second owner John Roberts
