  • Lot Description:
    1939 HARLEY-DAVIDSON MODEL U WITH SIDE-CAR
    Held in single-family ownership since new and one of a mere 421 built. “Black Saddle”. Engine No: 39U 2543
  • Notes:
    This impressive motorcycle has been held in single family ownership since it was bought new in Sydney in 1939. “Black Seat” has a 4-speed gearbox; the correct 18in wheels front and rear; its original driving lights and speedo, as well as many other charming original features and is presented in a period colour scheme of Delfine Blue. Later model aftermarket indicators and mirrors have been fitted to comply with modern registration requirements. The rear alloy mudflap bears a pop riveted metal emblem for Redfern Motorcycle Spares. It comes with the fitted Perspex and vinyl screen and a tonneau for the sidecar. This historically significant motorcycle was last registered in 1995 indicating that it was ridden right up until Uncle Bill’s retirement from riding that same year. The sale is accompanied by a spare fuel tank with 3-speed shift. The side-car is presumed to be Dusting and has an access door and black trim. Production numbers of the 1939 Model U were a mere 421 units being significantly lower than most other flathead models of the pre-war era, making this example a rare and highly desirable acquisition. This motorcycle is in running order and fresh oils and fuel were replaced in recent weeks. This motorcycle will be sold unregistered.
