Arthur J. Tooze of Adelaide, South Australia built two motorcycles, the first with a JAP 2¾ hp single, and a second machine with an 8hp V-twin JAP engine. The twin was found in the 1970s and appeared to have not been completed.
Tooze, of St Peters, was employed in 1909 by Vivian Lewis. The first of his machines appears to have been built around 1918 using Brampton forks and a rear drum similar to a Chater-Lea.
Arthur went on to become service manager at Lenroc's in the 1920s.
