Specification
Newmount 1931
... because the Newmount 1931 range now
covers all the requirements of the modern motor
cyclists. We have added to our programme an
entirely new Lightweight machine (200cc), also three new models embodying the "PYTHON"
engine and gearbox, which won fame by gaining
first places in the 1930 Senior & Junior T.T Races.
