This 'Deluxe M2' bicycle was made in 1965 by Moulton of Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire in England.

It was designed by Alex Moulton who was also responsible for the suspension on the Mini motor car.
This small wheel bicycle incorporates a rubber in compression front suspension, and compression and sheer rear suspension. The bicycle is fitted with a Sturmey-Archer 4 speed rear hub and a Middlemore saddle. The frame is painted Polychromatic Midnight Blue and the mudguards, chain-guard and handlebars are chromed. A plate riveted on the head tube is marked ' M.M. Moulton Bicycles ...'
