The Douglas Mark III is a British motorcycle designed and built by Douglas motorcycles in Bristol between 1949 and 1951. The 350 cc flat twin engine in the Douglas Mark III was based on a Second World War electricity generator.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A classic: The 1946 Douglas T35 Motorcycle )〕 As well as the 1949 Douglas Mark III, Douglas also produced a Mark III "De Luxe", a Mark III Sports, and a rigid-framed motorcycle trials Competition version.〔 ==History== During the Second World War the Bristol-based Douglas motorcycle company produced stationary generator engines using their 348 cc overhead valve flat twin. One of these Douglas generators was used at Winston Churchill's wartime summit meeting held next to the Sphynx in Giza.〔 By the end of the war in 1945, Douglas restarted motorcycle production – much to the surprise of the industry, as it was generally expected that the war had led to other interests, with the company being taken over by Aero Engines Ltd, so there were not many engineering staff left for the development of new motorcycles. The Douglas T35 used the same flat-twin 350 cc as the generator, mounted in a duplex fame with torsion bar rear suspension.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Douglas 350 )〕 The T35 was an unexpected export success; 1947 factory records show them being exported to Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, Santiago, and Russia.
