A Brief History of the Marque
A Coventry-based bicycle firm founded in 1883, they began motorcycle production in 1912 with sidecar machines utilising JAP 746cc and 980cc V-twins, and in 1914 introduced the Sparkbrook Light Motorcycle with a Villiers Mark I engine, a model which continued until production of motorcycles ceased in 1925, and ownership of the marque passed to Singer. In later years they employed Bradshaw oilcooled power units and Barr & Stroud sleevevalves, along with JAP 346cc sv singles.
They introduced single-speed economy machines named "Spark" in 1922 which were included in the Sparkbrook catalogues.

Sparkbrook not known
This photo is said to show a relative on 1914 m/cycle, but I wonder if it is slightly older? Any help dating this will be
much appreciated.

motorcycle sparkbrook
Hi. Ive come across a sparkbrook in Italy but they have advertised
the year as 1909 with english documents. I understand the first production
year was 1912. What should I look for to find which year it is and what
is the average price as they are asking 8000 euros.
