Pouncy Motorcycles

Manufactured by A.J. Pouncy, St. John's Hill, Wareham, Dorset, from 1931 to 1936.

1931 The first model appeared. Called the Cob, it was powered by a 346cc Villiers engine and was typical of the era.

1932 That model was joined by a competition version and a 148cc model.

1933 The Cob was not produced that year, but a 249cc model, listed as the Pal, appeared.

1935 The range reduced to a new version of the Pal. This had a duplex frame, OEC rear suspension and a Villiers engine.

1936 The Pal ran on for just that year before production stopped.

N.B. At some stage the firm moved to Hampshire. A 1935 brochure for the Pouncy Pal gave their address as Wareham, and was printed by a firm in the same town. The same document invited new owners to join the Pouncy Motor Cycle Club of Wareham. Another company brochure, probably around 1931, gave their address as "Owermoigne, Dorchester".
