The 1939 Dayton Autocycle in upcoming auction 2012

A working 1939 Dayton Autocycle.

Very few Daytons were made; it is probably the rarest of all autocycles (excluding those that never made it past the prototype stage). At the time of writing, the NACC has only heard of one surviving example of the Dayton autocycle. (Source: The Moped Archive)

No.9 – Dayton

The Dayton Cycle Co Ltd at Dayton Works, Park Royal Road, North Acton, London NW10 originated at 221-222 Shoreditch, London E1 as Chas. Day & Co and was a well-established manufacturer of high quality bicycles. Although primarily a pedal cycle manufacturer, Dayton made occasional forays into the motor cycle arena. The first of these was the Dayton Motorised Bicycle, a 162cc machine produced in 1913 and, as its name suggests, little more than a stengthened bicycle frame with an engine attached.
