The Dragonfly was Douglas's last design. It was produced in Bristol for two years from 1955-1957 when the company ceased production after being taken over.

It looks a good one. Nicely restored OR it's been in very good storage for a very long time. I nearly had one new in 1956 but got a Triumph Tiger 100 instead. The Dragonfly was a 350cc and my tiger was 500cc and the price wasn't much in it. My Tiger weighed 350lbs. and cost £350.00. A pound a £. The dragonfly was almost the same.
CHEERS Vic.

Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Another sad tale from the British motorcycle industry, Vic.
