1979 Honda CD175 Project
Registration no. HNV 89L
Frame no. CD175-3006537
Engine no. CD175E-3006900

Introduced in 1966, the Honda CD175 was aimed squarely at the market sector that regarded motorcycles merely as cheap and convenient transport rather than thrilling lifestyle accessories. Not exactly an exciting performer, the twin-cylinder CD175 would nevertheless cruise comfortably at 65mph while at the same time delivering around 70 miles to every gallon. A lengthy - by Japanese standards - production run of almost 12 years proved the soundness of the basic concept.

Suffering from extensive corrosion throughout, and with its saddle missing, this CD175 is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. There are no registration documents with this Lot; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the validity of the VRN and will need to apply to the DVLA to re-register/obtain a V5C. Offered with an original owners manual.
Offered without key

Footnotes

All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
