c.1933 New Imperial 250cc OHV Model 30 Registration no. US 6232 Frame no. 30 44/24862 Engine no. 44/32238/30 4S Builder of the last British-made machine to win the Lightweight 250 TT, New Imperial was unsurpassed for innovation during the 1930s, with models featuring pivoted fork rear suspension and unitary construction of engine and gearbox. Introduced for 1933, the unitary construction Model 30 was based on the earlier 148cc Model 23 and featured helical primary drive gears, pushrod overhead valves, and coil ignition. Production continued until 1936. This charming pre war New Imperial was purchased in 2018 by the current vendor, sadly nothing is known of its history before it's acquisition. It hasn't been started in current ownership and will therefore require careful recommissioning before returning to the road, the engine does turn over. Offered with a V5C.
