The engine was a rear-mounted, direct driven impeller air-cooled 750 cc twin-cylinder unit made by JAP driving the rear wheels through a three-speed gearbox and chain to the axle which had a friction differential.

Rodley, West Yorkshire
Rodley is a suburb in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, West Yorkshire, England. The village is situated within the Calverley and Farsley ward of Leeds Metropolitan Council, just inside the Leeds Outer Ring Road, north-west from Leeds city centre and north-east from Bradford. The hamlet of Bagley borders Rodley. History Rodley village is not recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book, although several nearby places such as Horsforth, Calverley, Farsley and Bramley are. The earliest uses of the name Rodley appear to be "Rodele", who was listed as a tenant in the Domesday Book, and "Redlega", who was recorded in Yorkshire in 1157. In the 19th century Rodley was part of the parish of Calverley.
