DOT Motorcycle Identification

[patchy-man]

Hello - I'm trying to identify a recent find, and have been told it may be a DOT. The frame number is 8AF 2101, and the villiers engine number is 950A 1197. I would be gratefull of any help.................

Engine prefix 950A identifies a 250cc  2T twin that was originally fitted to several makes in the late 50's. Ambassador, Cotton, Greeves Panther and Sun.

DOT never made a Villiers twin powered bike but one example is known to be built by an enthusiast, perhaps soeone else did so as well.

I haven't time at the moment to chase up the frame number but a photo would be of help.

Cheers,

Many thanks for your reply. It appears to have a single cylinder villiers engine, but unfortunatley I can't seem to upload any photos ??

It sounds like a photo is very much needed. Unfortunately your last photo won't download on my computer so could you try again please.
I'd also suggest a recheck of the engine number prefix, particularly if it shows signs of wear and tear.
Cheers,
