Malvern Star 3 Star

[Hamster]

Guys,

I've just recently acquired a 1954 3 Star Malvern Star, basically it's just a bare frame and forks.

My plan is to bring it back to as close as possible to the condition that it left the factory in. If anyone can point out to me where I can find some pictures and/or original specifications I would greatly appreciate it.

Any recommendations on who would be a good frame painter would also be appreciated.


Cheers

I've got a couple of pictures that I've filched off eBay over the years of original finish 3-stars. Not brilliant quality mind but if no-one comes up with anything better I'll post them or drop me a PM and I'll e-mail them to you.
Cheers

I posted this in another MS thread recently, but it might be of interest to you.
Its a post at cycle exif with a little MS history and the bike pictured is a 3 star.
Good luck with the scroll work if you want use this one as a reference for a paint job though!

If yours is the one that was on ebay recently (very nice) it looks like the same lugs etc.

doesnt look terribly original that one. paint doesnt look right and certainly none of the components are original

this is an original one, pretty much as it left the shop, now stripped for parts by someone else this is a 39 maybe 1940 one
