THE SPRING STAFFORD SALE
The International Classic MotorCycle Show
Staffordshire County Showground Stafford
SUNDAY 28th APRIL 2019
c.1965 Rieju Special 67cc
Registration no. not UK registered
Frame no. none visible
Engine no. Gilera067*002319*
The vendor advises us that this machine is a Rieju factory prototype, although there is no documentary evidence to support this. Accordingly, prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the authenticity of this machine prior to bidding.
Whether this machine is a prototype of some description or a home-made special, it certainly has an air of a work in progress. The engine is a Gilera air-cooled two-stroke unit; the front suspension is an unusual trailing link system and the rear suspension has twin shock absorbers. It has drum brakes front and rear, with alloy wheel rims, and is fitted with lights. The petrol tank is steel, and mudguards are lightweight plastic items. There are no documents, and it will require re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns, its mechanical condition is unknown, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
FOOTNOTES
- As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
