1912 Hazelwood 300cc JAP engine
The owner has now decided to keep the Hazelwood rather than sell it.
This is the only known survivor of this model.
Hazelwoods Ltd were initially cycle builders in Coventry. Motorcycle production started in 1905 and continued until 1923. Many were exported and there appear to be very few survivors now.
UPDATE 9TH MAY 2008: I’ve recently been contacted by the grandson of the Mr. Hazelwood who built these machines!
I owned this one several years ago. It is now owned by my friend Pascal in France. It has had quite a bit of work done on it to improve its mechanical operation. The 3-speed Armstrong rear hub has been rebuilt, and it now functions well, with a clutch.
It starts easily, the engine is strong, and it runs well.
There’ a new magneto.

AFTER PURCHASE: Please email me your phone numbers; we prefer to speak to all our purchasers personally.
VEHICLE CONDITION: Vintage vehicles are wonderful beasts – but each has an individual personality and they sometimes have bad days just like you and me.
You will need basic mechanical skills (or a local mechanic) to use one on a regular basis.
2-Stroke engines – and cyclemotors in particular – are notoriously unreliable. Basic servicing is generally required if unused for even a few weeks.
These are rare vehicles whose values are not necessarily based on running order.
Unless an auction description specifically states that the vehicle is running, THE VEHICLE IS SOLD FOR RESTORATION.
I purposely understate the condition of any vintage vehicle sold on behalf of a 3rd party. I am not liable for the condition of any vehicle not owned by me.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE ABOVE, PLEASE DO NOT BID.
