Description

Victor Ashby out for a drive in an 1896 Coventry Motette. Ashby ran Pioneer Motor Works, a garage at Towcester in Northamptonshire.




Site owner Harry Kraemer has a 1886 Coventry Rotary Tandem bicycle. These were built by Rudge. In 1894 the Rudge Cycle Co or Rudge Company would merge with Whitworth Cycle Co of Birmingham to form the Rudge Whitworth Cycles company. They would go on to make some very nice motorcycles.
