"Rudge-Whitworth: A Legacy of Quality Motorcycles and Sidecars" Step into the world of Rudge-Whitworth, where excellence meets innovation. With a range of motor cycles and sidecars that have captivated enthusiasts for decades, this iconic brand has left an indelible mark on the automotive industry. From their early beginnings to becoming a household name, Rudge-Whitworth has consistently delivered exceptional craftsmanship. Their 500 cc Ulster Motor Cycle stands as a testament to their commitment to performance and reliability. Designed for those seeking adventure on two wheels, this machine guarantees an exhilarating ride like no other. For the speed enthusiasts, the 500 cc Sports Special Motor Cycle offers unmatched power and agility. Its sleek design combined with cutting-edge technology ensures an adrenaline-fueled experience every time you hit the road. Not forgetting those who prefer a more compact option, Rudge-Whitworth presents the 250 cc Sports Motor Cycle. Don't be fooled by its size; this nimble beauty packs quite a punch while providing superior handling capabilities. Throughout history, Rudge-Whitworth's dedication to quality can be seen in various advertising spreads from The Graphic Christmas Number in 1897 to pages from Army and Navy Stores Catalogue in 1939-40. These captivating engravings and lithographs showcase not only their products but also evoke a sense of nostalgia for times gone by. The spirit of competition runs deep within Rudge-Whitworth's DNA as well. Witness FV Garratt conquering challenges at the MCC Edinburgh Trial in 1930 or E Travers navigating treacherous terrains during the MCC Lands End Trial in Beggars Roost, Devon in 1936 - both accompanied by their trusty Rudge-Whitworth sidecars. Even at prestigious events like the MCC Members Meeting at Brooklands in September 1938, Rudge-Whitworth motorcycles were a force to be reckoned with.
