Bown is a name older than the motor cycle industry. Originally Birmingham-based makers of the Aeolus wheel bearings for early bicycles, the company was relocated to Wales in the 1950s as producers of rather individual lightweights powered by Villiers engines, as installed to this example as well as mopeds. Production was limited making survivors rare indeed. VSY 889 is an example of their T.T. model and is believed be to original specification and in excellent condition. Last used in 2000 and requiring the usual safety checks and re-commissioning following a period of careful storage. Complete with V5C the 'T.T' will make a good VMCC entrant and excellent lightweight transport.
