OFFERED FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE PETER MCMANUS
C.1972 HONDA 72CC DAX 'MONKEY BIKE'
REGISTRATION NO. OHK 22K
FRAME NO. ST50-139099
ENGINE NO. C70E 705840 (SEE TEXT)
With the launch of the CZ100 in 1960, Honda created the class of machine known as 'monkey bikes', so called because of their diminutive stature. The power unit was the C100 step-thru's reliable four-stroke single, while an ultra-short wheelbase, small wheels, and a vestigial fuel tank were all features of a machine which, in the case of the folding handlebar version, could be fitted into the boot of car. A 72cc version, the ST70 Dax, with slightly larger and more practical frame was introduced in 1969. Last taxed to 30th April 2013, this Dax displays a total of 10,704 miles on the odometer and is offered for restoration. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. Sold strictly as viewed the Dax comes with a V5C document and HPI printout recording the engine number as '7058400'.

GBP500 - 1,000
€560 - 1,100


As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
