New Hudson returned briefly to the manufacture of two-wheelers in 1940 with the Autocycle. The engine was Villiers' JDL, and the Autocycle featured pedal transmission and a rigid front fork. Production resumed in 1946, by which time New Hudson was owned by BSA. Post-war developments included the adoption of pressed-steel blade-type girder forks in 1948 and the Villiers 2F engine the following year. Deletion of the 2F power unit brought an end to Autocycle production in 1958. Stripped ready for restoring or for use as spares, this lot consists of a frame, engine, front forks, fuel tank and numerous assorted other parts. Sold strictly as viewed.
