VICTORIA MOTORCYCLE FOUND IN AUSTRALIA 2017

I came across your website when I was researching Victoria motorcycles as I believe that an older friend may have one in his shed - in Brisbane, Australia. It has been in storage for the past 40-50 years and is a bit rough around the edges - but from his description, it appears to be a Victoria - which I think would be a little unlikely though...

Were Victoria motorcycles ever shipped to the colonies like larger manufacturers? I'm guessing that as this bike has a magneto and Villiers motor, along with a clutchless 2 speed Albion box, it must be around 1917-20?

Would you, or another of your contacts be able to identify it and possibly date it with this information?

Thanks in advance for your time.
