Brief History of the Marque: Scott
The Scott factory in Shipley, Yorkshire was established by Alfred Angus
Scott who left the company in 1915 (or 1919 according to other sources).
In 1950 the works were moved to Birmingham where they continued to produce
fine two-strokes until 1972. Their most famous model, the Flying Squirrel,
became something of a legend.
Alfred Scott left the company he had established in 1919 (?) to concentrate
on the development of the Scott Sociable tricar. It is thought that the
machine, a cross between a sidecar and a three-wheeler, was developed as
a machine-gun platform.
The machines were powered by a 578cc water-ccoled Scott two-stroke twin
and were capable of some 80kph. They were not a commercial success and
production ended in 1925.

Where is it now?
Scott 2sp Super Squirrel
My late father had a motorcycle business pre 1939 in 1946 he
put together a 1924 engine and a 1930 frame to make the above machine it
was registered in 1946 and given the reg No HLR675 it was subject of an
article in either the Motor Cycle or Motor Cycling magazine at that time.
I stripped it and had it rechromed and stove enamelled during the 1960's.
It was sold by my father just before his death in the late 70's. I would
dearly love to see this bike again and possibly buy it. Any information
would be gratefully received
