Wassells...I built em...
Wassell
Really odd finding a site refering to what you did shortly
after leaving school, but at 17 I used to build the 125 trials and scramblers
with the Sachs plants. The manager's name was Pete Edmundson whose son
Paul is Fast Eddy of Enduro fame. I now run a foundry and at 52 deeply
miss those days at Wassells. They were great times. The place closed when
the British bike industry slumped. If anybody wants to contact me for info...feel
free. but it's been a long (long) time. Bikers forever..Terry Caulton.

here is all I know , you might want to post this so others can see
it
Founded by WW2 pilot Ted Wassell of Birmingham as a wholesaler of motorcycle
parts and accessories. Make a motocross machine powered by a 125cc Puch
engine in 1970 and a trials bike with a 175cc BSA Bantam engine.
Made an off-road bike with 125cc Sachs engine in 1972. After making more
than 2,000 machines, high manufacturing costs and a falling American dollar
made his bikes too expensive for the US market, so he closed production
in 1975.
This was taken from
http://www.ianchadwick.com/motorcycles/britbikes/brit_w.html
and if anyone is interested I have a mint condition air cleaner for
one of these bikes (not sure which) and am putting it up on ebay for sale.

I have just bought a Wassell frame, number W911 S1, which I think was
built for a Sachs engine. Does anyone know much about these bikes? So far
I have found next to nothing in the UK but a fair bit on Penton Wassells
in the US. I am looking for literature, articles, parts lists, cycle parts
info and the like, in the hope of building a bike around this frame. Any
info or pointers you can give me will be much appreciated. If you know
anyone with a similar bike or parts, please let me know. --

I have a couple of pics of a well used wassell dalesman
trials bike your users may fancy seeing the bikes not mine so I have no
history about it. The one have is (still) engineless after many years,
the list of things to do never seems to reach the level that the bikes
on. -- Lou Watton -- lwatton at hotmail

I have just bought a Wassell frame, number W911 S1. I think it had
a Sachs engine when new. It has twin front downtubes and an oil carrying
top tube for forced oiling. The rear downtubes below the seat are very
close together. Does the frame number mean anything to anyone, in which
case I would like to know more about the cycle parts used and so on. I
can e-mail photos to anyone who can help. -- Thanks --

Hello everyone, I have recently acquired a late 70's Wassell mini m/x
bike for my 4 yr old, it is missing the fly wheel cover and I would like
to know if there's anyone out there that could point me in the direction
of one. All I know about the bike is that it is probably got a Puch engine
in it. -- thanks Justin ------- justin at wonderwall2002.fsnet.co.uk

Dear Sirs,
I have one tidbit of information concerning the name Wassell and motorcyles:
I have here four cast aluminum finned starter covers for a Honda CB500-4;
the bag is marked "W.E. Wassell, Ltd. Burntwood, made in England" and is
marked "part no: 160" so, presumably they made 159 other things.

I am looking for a company called Wassell in Birminham England.
They made accessories for British bikes, i.e. mirrors and others.
Do you know if this company still exists and if they have a website?

Another little known British bike manufacturer was a company called
Wassell, They were founded by Ted Wassell and produced off road bikes in
the mid to late seventies, starting out using Puch engines and then switching
to Sachs. The bike pictured is a 1974 125 Sach engined model costing £315
when new. The frames were built using Reynolds tubing and mudguards, panels
and tank were aluminium. The production plant was in the city of Birmingham
in England. -- Neil Wakerley -- nwba19121
