This BMW R26 was acquired by its late owner in 2015. According to a friend of his, it was certainly ridden whilst in his ownership. Some work was obviously ongoing, because offered with the machine are a pair of newly painted mudguards, a tail-light, an apparently new dual seat etc. Also supplied are various invoices, photocopies, an original repair manual, and a V5C, which with various other photocopies enable all 5 previous owners to be identified. Robert Tucker, the first owner, apparently kept it for 35 years, and there are some lovely period photos which indicate that he used it in long distance trials between 1958 and 1964. The recorded mileage is 16933. After a period of inactivity re-commissioning will be required before further use. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition. Sold strictly as viewed.
