 This machine has the cylinder inclined forward at 45 degrees to the vertical. The sloping engine was a popular design feature around 1930, with the famous BSA "sloper" as leading model. The craze lasted about half a dozen years: by the mid thirties there were hardly any sloping models left; Panthers being a notable exception of course.
(to entlarge the pictures click in the image) The 250 cc OHV Colt model of 1930 had been a good seller, but there was some demand for a similar machine with slightly better overall performance. So in March 1931 the factory introduced a 346 cc OHV version of the Colt, with 72 mm bore and 85 mm stroke. The model has a two port head and was priced at a modest £ 42. Magdyno lighting was an optional extra.
