Portland were motorcycles produced between 1910 and 1913 and again in 1920, and listed by dealers Maude's Motor Mart of Great Portland Street, London, and Halifax?.
1910-1912 A machine was listed with a 4hp JAP engine, belt drive and Druid forks. There was also the option of a Peugeot engine.
1913-1917 For a list of the models and prices see the 1917 Red Book. French manufacture
1913 Still with belt drive, the machines now had 4hp JAP or 3.5hp and 4.25hp Precision engines.
1920 They continued to sell their own brand of machine, built by a trade supplier, using components such as 269cc Arden two-stroke engine, Amac carburettor, two-speed Albion gearbox and Saxon forks. These lightweight machines were typical of the period, but a down-turn in trade saw them slip from the market.
