Comet-Minerva (Vic.)


Cottman Colt

Manufactured by Cottman and Co, Melbourne in the 1930s using Royal Enfield 225cc two-strokes. Images from restoration of a Cottman show very similar frame and front and rear guards to the 1932 Royal Enfield Model A (with single downtube), so they may have been rebadged machines. Forks are pressed metal, as fitted to later models of the 225cc Enfields.

Around 1940 Cottman and Co moved into the former Turner premises at 291-293 Elizabeth St, Melbourne.
