Sachs (later Fichtel and Sachs) are best known as engine suppliers to many motorcycle producers. The vendor advises us that he believes this motocross machine to be a Sachs factory prototype, and that it was restored in 2005. However, there is no documentary evidence to support this. Accordingly, prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the authenticity of this machine prior to bidding. Whilst the machine evidently has had some renovation, it has no documentation, or receipts/invoices for work done.

Believed to date from the mid-nineteen seventies, this Sachs is equipped with lightweight plastic petrol tank, mudguards, and side panels. Fitted with alloy wheel rims, it has an air-cooled engine, drum brakes front and rear, and twin-shock rear suspension. No kickstart is fitted, and in view of the lack of use the machine will require some re-commissioning prior to further use. 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.
