Description

Rex  1903  346 cc AIOE single   frame#13417  engine#573

Rex was one of the first and foremost manufacturers of motorcycles in Britain. 
Their advertising slogan read “ The King of British motors”, and the firm was a true market leader in design and development. 
From 1902 the engine was positioned vertically in the frame, and all parts were made – so claimed the makers- at their own works. 
At the 1904 Show no less than 50 Rex machines were on display! Typical Rex features are the rectangular silencer chamber on the cylinder that dispenses with an external pipe and silencer, the patented cradle around the engine and the almost “L” shaped tank. 
This Rex is a perfectly restored example of a sturdy, high quality veteran. 
Pioneer Certificate comes with the machine.
Detailed information about veteran Rexes can be found in Jamie Dee’s articles on the make in “Old Bike” magazines 9 & 10.
