British Bikes / Re: Can anyone ID this bike

So I contacted Villiers services and they quoted me $1020 USD to completly overhaul the engine inside and out with all new parts. I am going to take that first step very soon and while the engine is sent off for overhaul I will begin work on the frame. Is that price reasonable for this work. Currently it is not getting fire to the plug. Points? I am under the impression that all those items will be changed and the engine sent in 100% working order back to me.

Wow,

You sure have been a life saver for me on this project. I appreciate all your advice and knowledge in this topic. I am going to do a self restore, I have a friend who owns a body shop that can do all the painting and body work, I can do all the engine work and other items. I am going to attack this project head on and I will keep you posted on the progress once I start. Probably will post pictures as I go on here.

I am working to get you that phone number for that man from Louisiana about the bikes. He is a serious bike enthusiast. I will begin the tear down sometime soon and start sanding some of that old paint off and try to locate some frame information to provide to you.

Sincerely,

Scott

33D6,

As far as his phone number , I can get that too you on here via PM in the next couple of days as I make contact with our mutual friend to retrieve the number.

The bike, well all the numbers  I could get I posted in those pictures above. I cant find anything on the frame whatsoever. I was under the impression it was a 1939 is that not factual? I am going to add another picture that might help, the only thing I could find. Its hardly clear what the stamps on the frame are. This pic should help you some. What do you suspect it it would cost round about to get this rig running. Compression is good , no Fire on the plug though. Carb is intact new airfilter new plug new tank. Im gonna go ahead and restore for our personal keep sake.

Yeah,

I don't think I wanna part with it. We have plenty of Harley's and bikes to ride and enjoy im looking at the piece of history. Would it appreciate as time goes on ? Whats your opinion? Is it worth a small restoration just for collecting purposes?

Thank you sir for providing me with the bikes amazing history. How much do you think it's worth? I was offered $5k last week for it , turned it down b/c I don't wanna sell. Is it worth restoration? Can I find parts? I appreciate your time

Good morning all,

I purchased this bike around 15 years ago from an elderly lady who stated her husband rode this bike to work everyday for years. They were from overseas and she stated they brought it over with them. It has a Villiers engine marked possibly 1939. I have been offered amazing amounts of money for this bike but no one has ever knew what make it was. It has good compression the engine is no locked up I am considering a full restoration. Please help me figure out who make this bike. Excelsior? Chell ? James ? im not sure so Im turning to friends in this community to help.

Thanks,

Scott
