Topic: Selling a friend’s Collection of WW1 Motorcycles

[BenelliSEI]

Starting to help a friend sell a large collection WW1. Motorcycles, Trucks, Trailers and Staff Cars.
Cleaning up the first one. This project will take a few years! Anyone interested in a 1916 2.5 hp Douglas? Or one with it’s original side car?

 What is the pre-sale estimate on something like that do you think ?

[BenelliSEI]

I’d estimate $15K for the bike and $20K for th rig.......

Wow, interesting stuff, more photos please!

My friend used to get this stuff out regularly (I kept it running) here’s a photo just before the 2016 Warriors Day Parade, at the Toronto International Exibition. We had the side car rig running and I rode the 1915 Triumph Model H, at the front of the parade. It is totally original (including tires that go flat pretty fast). Runs like a top! The two cars are actual WW1 DODGE Staff Cars. My wife drove the green one. The Triumph smokes a bit on start up!!
