Greeves 1961 Hawkstone Villiers 200 classic
scrambler |
 |
The greeves rolling chassis is believed
to be 1961 with taper roller headstock and
paddle hubs. This is fitted with a Villiers
9E 200 cc engine, an ex kart racing with full
circle flywheels, oval conrod, packed cases,
modified barrel, new racing piston, strenghtened
clutch, 930 concentric carburettor, the bore
is good, engine and gearbox bearings appear
OK No kickstart fitted, the internal pawl
gear and spring have been removed, remainder
of gearbox contents have not been modified
so kickstart can be easily reinstated by purchasing
these parts from one of the Villiers component
suppliers. No electrics, just a purpose made
flywheel, with self extracting nut (as original
flywheel) and a breaker cam for the battery
powered coil ignition, the shaft is not modified
so original, or modern ignition systems (Motoplas
etc) will fit or the battery system retained. |

1965 Greeves 250cc Silverstone Road Racer |
 |
Greeves entry into the world of road-racing
was prompted by the efforts and success of
Reg Everett who, during the 1962 season had
campaigned a machine built from a combination
of Greeves roadster and motocross components.
Mr Everett's success led to the factory developing
their own racing model, which debuted at the
1962 Earls Court Show. The new machine utilised
a Villiers derived engine and bore a price
of £285. |

| 1965 Greeves Challenger |
 |
Greeves introduced the first of their
Challenger models in 1964. Typed the MX1,
the new model headed the range of moto cross
machines from the Thundersley factory and
significantly introduced an engine designed
by Greeves and containing no Villiers components.
The barrel, head and crankcases were produced
in-house, with the crankshaft assembly emanating
from Alpha Bearings. An Albion gearbox and
clutch were used and the magneto was supplied
Stefa. The MX2 variant followed for the
1965 season incorporating a number of modifications
to the transmission and was followed for
the 1966 season by the MX3. The new model
broke with Greeves tradition with either
Ceriani telescopic forks or banana forks
being specified in place of the Greeves
leading link design previously specified. |

Greeves Challenger sidecar outfit...Greeves
only ever made one "works" outfit
and this is it. It was made for the 1966/7
winter series that was shown on Grandstand
by the BBC and ridden by Alec Wright. At
the time there were no "works"
outfits and Derry Preston-Cobb thought it
would be a perfect opportunity to get some
publicity for Greeves putting a two stroke
against all the big four strokes. It was
also entered in the Welsh Three-Day.
