1936 O.K. Supreme Sales Catalogue.

Sales Catalogues / McSnotty

O.K. Supreme have produced some pretty impressive motorcycles over the years and 1936 would be no different as for this year they had 16 models available to the public.

1952 J.A.P 125 Unit Engine Gearbox Reference Book

Manuals / McSnotty

Whenever people talk about 1940s/50s British 2 strokes the first thing that comes to mind are the Villiers engined machines, or the BSA Bantam.

1914 The Governor Owners Manual

Early Beginnings Pre 1916, Manuals / McSnotty

Quite a rare little 11 page booklet for a motorcycle that is even rarer. Manufactured in Birmingham possibly by R Walker & Son or W A Lloyds it is believed that the motorcycle was built exclusively for New Zealand. Very hard to verify, but having gone through all the early motorcycle books that I have
