Coventry Eagle identification
« on: February 18, 2012, 05:34:36 AM »
Hi all

I have just purchased 3 Covenrty Eagles in bits and I am trying to identify what the heck I have got.  I have found numbers at the front of 2 of the frames underneath by the yoke. On bike one, on the left side I have what appears to be:

 PATTERN No. 283777
 REQ DES No. 731168
 MAT No. 28321/31
 AT No. 2B3737/27

and on the right hand side is:

727410

I haven't been able to find any info on line as to what these numbers mean.  Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can put an age to these gals and start restoring them to their former glory.

The engines which came with the collection are 2 x 250cc's (XV1-A) and 1 x 148cc (X11-C)

Awaiting some help

Regards

Robin

A pic or 2 always helps, since numbers alone can rather mislead.
Cheers.
