This Beeston Humber has two rare features: its ‘trussframe’ uses the Premier patent – Premier called it The Royal – and it is fitted with a Villiers 2-speed gear, which was an optional extra for 1905 on Beeston Humbers.

It’s a rare machine – the first I’ve come across built by Humber – and is in excellent all round condition and ready to ride.
