Douglas Motor Cycles Repro Books



In the past, only a few reproductions of original Douglas literature were made, mainly because of the high cost of the small print runs, aged or damaged originals unsuitable for direct copy, and the very limited market. As a Douglas owner I wanted to improve matters.

The reproductions available here are complete books (NOT PHOTOCOPY), and are as near to the original publications as possible using modem materials. All reproductions include original printers marks etc, where applicable. Colour brochures and posters kept as close to the originals as possible although actual size can have small variations due to the capacity of my graphics printer. I am not a company, just a Douglas enthusiast like yourself working from home, restoring Doug's and providing this small service to fellow members.

John Withers.

Expansion of this service requires rare originals. If you have any Douglas material not listed in the above catalogue and prepared to loan them for scanning, they will be treated with utmost care and returned with two free reproductions of your choice.

Note: This reprint service is no longer available.

[glenn]

Could you please scan maybe the first few pages of VIN200 and VIN201 and send me a copy as I am not sure which one of these would be more suitable for my restoration project.  If they are suitable I will order the books.
Cheers Glenn

[a47581]

Glen, Scanning would not help you as they are both applicable to the 2 3/4 hp Douglas. one is the comprehensive handbook that came with the bike and the other is the spare parts list with an illustration of every part. They both cover the 2 3/4 hp up to and including 1925.  Regards. John Withers.

[KiwiJohn]

Hi  John

I have a 80 Plus , built August 1951.  I have the T.35 Operation and Maintenance Handbook which is in a thoroughly used condition.

My intention is to order the corresponding 80 Plus handbook to replace it but before doing so I would like you to please recommend which of your products including poster and promotion material would also be applicable to my bike.

Thanks

John Hill

[a47581]

John, If your machine is an 80 plus, the T35 Operation and Maintenance book that you have would not be correct for your bike.  The Mark Maintenance Manual 1948 ~ 1954 which includes the Plus & Comp, would be the book supplied with the bike originally.  If you require this, the part Number is; CLA802 cost AU$22.00.  I also have in stock the Plus Series Maintenance Instructions; CLA 803 cost AU$7.00 and the Plus Series Complete description & specifications booklet; CLA804 cost AU$7.00  If you require futher information my email is jwithers@mail2me.com.au Regards. John Withers.

[Speedway Researcher]

When Peter Lipscombe ran The Vintage Speedway magazine he re-published an advert sheet / brochure for Douglas dirt track machines.  The Vintage Magazine has changed hands but you can contact current owners via their own web site to see if they still have copies.

The Vintage Speedway site can be found here.

[Simon Giles]

Hi Doug,
Is there any 26 EW reference manual source available? Looks like John Withers had a great service.
I'm starting to use my machine seriously and would love any original or reproduction operating and tech manuals.

Regards,
Simon

[Doug]

There were two EW handbooks and two spares lists reprinted over the years. Neither handbook was what i would call super-comprehensive, but better than nothing I suppose. I have not seen a spares list for the 350EW that was illustrated. The LDMCC has started a program of reprinting some of the Douglas literature, from originals donated to their archives. They have a 1930 edition of the "Care of the 350 EW" book for seven quid.

-Doug

[Bailey Fan]

Hi John,
I am just checking to see if you are still selling catalogues etc. If so, I am particularly interested in the 
1923 Booklet by Douglas which details the RA model and particularly the twenty patents by Bailey.
 
Also, the 1913 Sales Catalogue.

Please let me know about the availability, prices, etc., and I will follow up with postal details and payment.
Thank you, and I am looking forward to your reply.
Regards
VK 

[Doug]

John Withers passed away some years ago. I'll put a note in the original post that his reprints are no longer available. 

The RA booklet is reprinted by the London Douglas Motor Cycle Club.

I collected all the Douglas patents (including Bailey) many years ago, indexed them, and made them available on CD. There was not a lot of interest, and they are all readily accessible on the internet via eSpace.net or Google Patents.

-Doug

[Bailey Fan]

Sorry to hear the news about John. Thank you for the kind reply, and I will follow your suggestions.
Thanks again.
