In a time before Deliveroo drivers, there was...
The 1951 Turner By-Van!
This truly unique machine was one of the eccentricities of the motorcycle world and made its brief appearance in Brussels in 1946.
Since modern problems always require modern solutions, Turner wanted to combine the fuel efficiency and simplicity of a motorbike with a delivery van.
The machine was an oddity because it had front-wheel-drive using a 125cc Royal Enfield Flying Flea engine mounted on top of the pressed steel forks. The whole of the remainder of the machine was fully enclosed to form a large parcel holder with a saddle on top for the rider and a lid for access.
Sadly, it was far too radical even for Europe, which was to have its fair share of oddities over the years, so no more was heard of it.
Also featuring in this video is the 1913 Sun Motorcycle (nearing completion), as well as the 1898 Quadrant and a new project, a Yamaha FS1E!
We hope you enjoy!
