148cc. Twin Port model BE1.
She was registered in the port of Milford Haven on 12th January 1933 and was used as transport around the port every day by the same person. When the Second World War came she was saved from being melted for scrap to make war machinery (like happened to so many other bikes and cars at the time) as the bike and owner were classed as essential war workers because by then, the usual fishing fleet in Milford Haven had been replaced by Royal Navy warships and also Sunderland flying boats. The bike was used throughout this time, escaping the Luftwaffe bombing of the port with just the loss of a headlamp (still never been replaced) and the girder forks which were replaced with the correct items. She continued in service up until the 1970s by which time the exposure to salt (and bombing) had taken its toll. She was repainted a dark red by hand - probably to hide the rust)
