Help needed to find an old bike

[billinom8s]

My dad contacted me the other day to ask me to ask you lot if you know of a bike that was about many, many years ago. He is after a project to do in his retirement before the arthritis knackers his fingers and hands completely.

Manufacturer - COTTON
size - 250cc
engine - 2 stroke, villiers 2t

Apparently the bikes were made in the 50's and 60's, i've had a little look around but they seem to be fairly unicorn like.


Does anyone know of one going or know of someone who might?


Many thanks
