The formative years of engineer Alfred Scott and the experimentation that led to his first motorcycle. Competing in the early Isle of Man TT races. First World War production of machine gun carriers and gun cars. The 500cc Squirrel sports model, advertised as 'lively as a squirrel and never sheds a nut'. The Scott Trial programmes. Production through the 1930s, the Flying Flea, and a six-cylinder car engine orginally fitted in an Aston Martin. Riding impressions, dating guide to Scott motorcycles, and British Patent applications for the Scott motorcycle.
Jeff Clew, an active motorcycle rider, restorer and author, decided to investigate the mystique of Scott ownership when a completely dismantled 1946/7 model became available. He has been closely associated with veteran and vintage machines since joining the Vintage Motor Cycle Club in 1949. A former Haynes Editorial Director, he lives near Yeovil, Somerset.
