The Squirrel name was used for Scott motorcycles since 1921, however, with the death of the founder Alfred Angas Scott in 1923, the unorthodox Scott two-stroke motorcycles began to become more conventional. Development of the three-speed Scott Flying Squirrel began in 1922 as the company was in severe debt and faced receivership. Launched at the 1926 Earls Court motorcycle show, the Flying Squirrel was expensive - nearly twice the cost of a sporting four-stroke motorcycle of the time.
This Vintage Scott Sprint Special has been enjoyed by the current owner and he describes it as a very fast machine. Always maintained to a good standard by the owner, it has previously been in the long term ownership of a Mr Cooper who owned it for some 53 years and in his time used it on many events on the Isle of Man and VMCC events. The Scott Sprint Special is being offered with a current V5C, an old continuation RF60 logbook from 1952, some old pictures and a completed 14th National Rally card from 1958.
