When it comes to pre-war bikes the Rudge Special is arguably one of the best, modern for its time the bike is a handsome machine that reportedly rides better than almost all its contemporaries.
Its fair to say if you are considering adding the Rudge to your collection you already know some of the companies history and about the bikes but for those who dont, classic motorcycle magazine have done an in-depth write-up here https://www.classicmotorcycle.co.uk/rudge-special-1938/
This bike has undergone an extensive restoration and now just requires a bit of use and final fettling. We had a friend who is a bit of an expert in most things pre-war pop over to give the Rudge the once over and he reports it to be a powerful bike that rides nicely, smile on his face seemed to confirm this!
We recommend coming to view the bike and we would be happy for the potential buyer (assuming they are competent) to have a tinker with the bike and make sure it is what they are looking for.
