1928 McEvoy-JAP

1928 McEvoy-JAP

Last week this little-known British classic racer sold for an incredible £108200 (177000) at the auction house Bonhams. It’s a 1928 McEvoy—powered by a 45hp 980cc overhead valve JAP V-twin and capable of over 100mph. Between the wars McEvoy created state-of-the-art racers breaking several British and World land speed records. The company built bespoke motorcycles for rich and discerning customers competing against Brough Superior. But it was a tragically short-lived brand lasting just five years from 1924 to 1929.
