My brother has a 1939 Plover that he is restoring but is missing a couple of parts, does anyone on here know of someone who's into early
British bikes who may be able to help?

Hi Dom,
If he gets a recent copy of 'Old Bike Mart' there are lots of sources for early Brit stuff and if it's engine parts, there's a Villiers specialist who usually advertises in there. Cycle parts and tin-ware might be more of a problem though.  There's also a guy in Nederweert in the Netherlands (Yesterdays.nl) who turns up lots of early stuff - including Hondas.  Mostly complete bikes but might know of spares somewhere.

Hi Dom. Francis Barnett Owners Club have a forum, a bit like this one. Lots of experts on hand and advice on spares. Details below.

Also Villiers Services 01384 265797 villiersservices.Co.Uk. They have quite a range of spares. Can be tricky to get hold of. Phonecall probably best.

Thanks Ian/Harold, I'll pass this on to him.  It was a bit of tinware he was mainly after as well as some general help really.

I managed to get an oil tank for my 1948 Merlin through the forum, so fingers crossed for your brother.
