Traditional British design from the 1930s updated in the early 1940s with telescopic forks.  The 350cc version of this machine, identical in appearance, was used extensively by dispatch riders during the WWII.  The G-80 was a very simple design were maintenance could be done by the owner, a typical daily commuter bike where gas mileage and reliability were more important than speed and power.
