Phoenix (by Ernie Barratt)
Phoenix were scooters produced from 1956 to 1964, by Ernie Barrett, in Tottenham, London. Only Villiers engines were ever used.
1956 The first machine was seen and was typical of its type, but rather weighty. It had the 147cc 30C engine.
1958 The rear body was improved and changed to glass-fibre moulding. Engines of 148cc, 197cc and 249cc were added to the range. Models were available in both standard and De Luxe versions.
1960 Further engines of 174cc and 324cc were added.
1963 A model fitted with the 99cc 6F engine appeared but the market was in decline.
1964 Production stopped.
