Mills and Fulford

Millford motorcycles were produced by Mills and Fulford of Coventry, between 1903 and 1904.

• This company was best known for sidecars and trailers, but they did produce motorcycles for a brief period. They used 2.35hp and 3¼ hp Hamiltons, either hung from the down-tube, or fitted vertically in the frame. In both instances, the drive was by belt to the rear wheel.

• The firm also offered the machine in kit form and later added the option of Fafnir or Whitley engines. With a slump in trade, they dropped motorcycles and returned to the sidecar trade they were already familiar with, supplying other manufacturers including AJS, Royal Ruby and Brown Brothers.

• 1932 Purchased Rex-Acme and produced motorcycles under that name until 1933.
