Brief History of the Marque: Sparkbrook
A Coventry-based bicycle firm founded in 1883, they began motorcycle
production in 1912 with sidecar machines utilising JAP
746cc and 980cc V-twins, and in 1914 introduced the Sparkbrook Light Motorcycle
with a Villiers Mark I engine, a model which
continued until production of motorcycles ceased in 1925. In later years
they employed Bradshaw oilcooled power units
and Bar & Stroud sleevevalves, along with JAP 346cc sv singles.
