Formed by Alfred Scott of Bradford in 1908, the distinctive two stroke incorporated water cooling, all-chain drive, telescopic forks, low slung weight and a lightweight duplex frame giving superb road holding. In 1910 a Scott was the first two-stroke motorcycle to complete a full TT course under race conditions won the event in 1912 and 1913.
A 596cc engine was introduced at an additional price for the 1924 models and later the same year further-improved engines were introduced at 596 cc and 498 cc to a new model named the Super Squirrel.
GMX has had known life for many years, originally the frame was from a 1924 machine, the engine from a 1926 and the registration number was issued in 1937. The original 1937 R.F 60, states it was owned by Ronald Aspden of Middlesex, with a 498cc engine (Z 9580), followed by Robert Wilkin in 1938, and Stephen Coleman in 1940. From the multiple fuel stamps it was in use throughout WWII. Post war it moved to Hull with him before being sold to Harold Walker in 1960 and then our deceased vendor in 1962.
In 2005 he received a new V5C with the current engine number noted.
