W. Montgomery and Co of Bury St Edmunds was a well-known sidecar manufacturer who began producing motorcycles in 1905. William Montgomery moved the works to Coventry in 1911, and after WWI his son Jack managed the show, extending the range considerably. The firm survived the destruction of their works by fire in 1925 and the Great Depression a few years later. Production ceased shortly after the beginning of Hitler's war.

Hi I am looking for information on what this bike will have looked like, belonged to my late father and was stolen in 1939 New Zealand, was at that time the only one of its kind in New Zealand.
It was sadly never recovered becoming a family mystery.
However I have no photograph as to what this model may have looked like, some clues are theYear (1937), HP rating, 4 speed foot gear change, chromium petrol tank and JAP engine number.
Do you have any likely suspects photo wise that this may have looked like.
My intention is to place an information wanted ad for its return ( tongue in cheek some 84 years later) in the national Vintage Car Club magazine here in NZ which will likely produce some amusement value in the magazine for our members.
Yours sincerely

Dear Sheldon,
searching on the web to find some detailed information on a pic showing
my grandfather on a strange motorbike, I got the answer now. It's a 1929
Montgomery with a 490ccm JAP engine. Hope that this is worth an addition
to the list ...
Best regards,
