Willow Autocycle Co
From Graces Guide
Willow Autocycle Company, of Victoria, London.
Willow was a scooter produced in 1920. This machine used a complete Auto Wheel as its rear wheel and had two simple tubes to support a bicycle saddle, plus two more to support the steering head. Everything was then connected together with a stout wooden foot-board of ash, to give better flexibility and comfort than a metal frame. This was definitely a bonus, as the whole machine was otherwise unsprung. The engine was a 117cc aiv four-stroke, controlled by a single handlebar-lever. The tubular fuel tank was above the wheel, the Auto Wheel standard practice.
They also produced a 269cc Villiers powered scooter.
