Model Range
The 2¾ h.p. model was dropped from the range, and the 3½ h.p. model was
redesigned and produced in 'Standard' and TT versions. The
former model was also produced for the War Department as a 'General Service'
model (engines stamped 'GS').
Marstons issued both
pre-season and mid-season catalogues. The mid-season catalogue introduced a
re-engined v-twin model, an AKD (Abingdon
King Dick) engine of 798cc replacing the JAP engine from the previous year.
War production was making JAP engines hard to come by.

The most notable visual change was the new parallel-sided magneto chain drive
