Very original electric start C90G Cub

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. In 1958 the Honda Cub was released and has gone on to become the best-selling motorised vehicle ever produced with over 100 million sales in every corner of the world. The Cub was sold in 50cc, 70cc and 90cc engine sizes and could stake a claim for being the most important and influential motorized vehicle ever designed. To put things into context the Cub range has sold more individual units than the top three best selling cars combined!
This original and unrestored C90 Cub, being offered at no reserve, is the rare electric start version not often seen in the UK. Part of a deceased estate, the bike has not been run for a while so will need recommissioning and probably a new battery, but the engine turns over on the kickstart. Fitted with a period top box and carrier, it is supplied with current V5C.
PLEASE NOTE :- the reg. no. appears on the HPI database as 'Vehicle Recorded As INSURANCE THEFT On Condition Alert Register'. Dated 2003.
