Today's vintage quiz

[Goldy]

At the Coventry Transport Museum there is a list on one of the walls of Coventry motorcycle manufacturers and they date from the late nineteenth century up until the end of Triumph Meriden. The question is how many motorcycle makers where there in Coventry, care to have a guess.?
All the best Goldy

"More than 140".

Thats rather a lot, when you tot them all up.
And not very specific - how many more than 140 ??!

[Goldy]

I counted 141 I know there were a lot of car makers in Coventry, but did not realise that there were so many motorcycle manufactures.
