Property of the late Warrick Blackwell
1973 BMW 750cc R75/5
Registration no. RLL 98L (see text)
Frame no. 2997724
Engine no. 2997724

Offered for restoration and sold strictly was viewed, this BMW R75/5 was supplied new by Slocombe's of Neasden to a Mr Frederick Peyman. Warrick Blackwell purchased the machine at the Stafford auction in April 1988 (Lot 101). The most recent of the eight MoTs on file was issued in March 1988 at 41,245 miles, while the current odometer reading is 41,715 miles, so it seems probable that the BMW has not been on the road for over 30 years. The 1973 purchase receipt and 1988 auction catalogue are on file and the machine also comes with various instruction manuals. However, there is no V5C or other registration document present (the registration 'RLL 98L' is recorded in the HPI database). Accordingly the successful purchaser will need to make the relevant application to the DVLA to obtain a replacement V5C.
Offered with key
