Estimated : € 18.000 - 24.000
Sold for € 32.200
The BMW R75 that the Wehrmacht used so effectively and in such great numbers in every theatre of its operations during WW2 was no mere motorcycle combination but a purpose-built cross-country vehicle. This example of one of the most famous military vehicles of WW2 was imported into the UK circa 2010 from an American collection. VAT and import taxes were paid and the machine UK registered. Since then the engine has been completely rebuilt (including new crankshaft, pistons, bearings, etc) and the differential and frame overhauled by marque specialist, Hans-Peter Hommes (see bill for €14,773.65 on file). Described by the private vendor as in good condition throughout, this magnificent motorcycle wants for nothing and is ready to use.
