- Coventry-Eagle Cycle and Motor Co. was based in Coventry and had begun as a bicycle manufacturer in the 1890s before moving into motorcycles in the early 1900s. Unlike makers such as Rudge, who designed much of their own engine technology, Coventry-Eagle was a skilled assembler of premium proprietary components - using engines from JAP, Blackburne, Villiers, Matchless and others, combined with excellent frames, cycle parts and finish. The company had a reputation for well-made, reliable machines
- The Coventry-Eagle D44 350cc (1928–1929) represented the sporting end of the company's lightweight range marking the transition era between vintage flat-tank motorcycles and the more modern saddle-tank styling that dominated the late 1920s
- The heart of the machine was its J.A. Prestwich (JAP) OHV engine - a beautifully made power unit that was used by many prestigious manufacturers. It was a lively, rev-happy engine compared with side-valve singles of the day, giving the D44 a genuine sporting character
- This smart example is an older restoration, but still presents very well. A good-looking vintage bike that is both running and riding well, according to our vendor who is reducing his extensive Collection, having owned this bike for the last 10 years
- Offered with a current V5C (correctly classed as Historic), and numerous literature and books on the marque, JAP engines and others
