Hi fonusbak,
This thread is really interesting. My dad has the remains (80%) of a 250 Rudge which is almost identical to the one in your photo. The fuel tank has the hand change and the oil tank is inside the fuel tank hense the twin caps on the tank. We have never seen a photo of a Rudge with the same tank and so he was never sure it was correct. Most photos show a oil tank under the seat between the rear mudguard and frame down tube.
The cylinder head is a thing of beauty (or complication) with the 4 valve radial configuration. My dad did join the Rudge club, but due to illness has not tried to find out exactly what he has.
Would it be possible to send me a higher resolution scan of the photo? If so I will send you my e-mail via a private message.
Cheers,
Simon.
