Built in Wolverhampton, the Chell is a Villiers-powered lightweight of 98cc and 125cc, production of which began in 1939 and ended with the onset of war that same year. Those few which were built had electric lighting, a toolbox and tyre pump, and an optional Smiths speedometer. The smaller engine was a two-speed, the 125 a three.

1939 chell ?
We believe to own a 1939 Chell motorcycle with a Villa motor.  It looks similar to a James motorcycle.  We do have pictures available. If you could help us in figuring out what this motorcycle is it would be greatly appreciated.
