Sammy demonstrates lathe work as he describes the 'hands-on' refurbishment of the Coventry-Eagle.

Sammy has stripped down the 1936 Coventry-Eagle 2-stroke 'Pullman' model and prepared parts for plating and painting. Rather than buying expensive modern replacement parts, Sammy gives a quick demonstration showing how he prefers to refurbish original components using his workshop skills and experience including use of the lathe to cut threads and reface parts. This motorcycle is super rare having only been made between 1935 to 1937 and there are only a handful still in existence! Founded in 1890, the Coventry-Eagle factory built an extensive range of two- and four-stroke motorcycles powered by different engines. Coventry-Eagle originally began producing Royal Eagle bicycles in the 1890s and then built their first JAP models. They expanded until the effects of the Depression were felt in 1929, eventually leading to the company's demise in 1939. This will be added to the well over 500 exhibits in The Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum in the heart of the New Forest (UK)! ‪@sammymillermotorcyclemuseum‬ ‪@HenryColeTV‬ ‪@AllenMillyard‬ ‪@TheGoodTimesMotorbikeChannel‬ ‪@Brooklandstv‬ ‪@motorcyclenewsdotcom‬ ‪@ClassicBikeCollections‬ ‪@RoadrunnermotorcyclesUk‬ ‪@motorcycleclassics‬ ‪@VintageBikeBird‬ ‪@DukeDyson‬ #classicbikeguide #motorcyclecollection #realclassic #motorcyclemuseum #classicbike #motorcycleexhibition #sammymillermotorcyclemuseum
