this 4 ½ hp (86x103) is equipped with full chain drive and 3 speed james gearbox. a new feature for the 1915 model 4 ½ hp was the gear change lever that was positioned through a slot in the petrol tank instead of at the side of the tank this machine spent a large part of its life in belgium, which might indicate it's an ex- army machine. technically good, externally not restored.
