Coventry Ensign
From Graces Guide
A motorcycle produced circa 1921 to 1923 by Coventry Ensign Cycle and Motor Co at 210 Foleshill Road, Coventry.
The make was very short-lived. Having originally produced bicycles, they went on to offer a motorcycle fitted with a 292 cc sv JAP engine. The specification would have been very similar to many others.
They then went back to the production of bicycles until 1934
