During WWII, Harley Davidson produced over 100, 000 WLA/ WLC models along with many spare parts to keep the bikes running in difficult conditions. Based on the 750cc 45 cu in flathead, the WLC was the version supplied to the Canadian Army, much the same as the WLA that the US Army used but with a few detail changes.
On offer is a 1942 Harley Davidson WLC that has been restored to an extremely high standard and the attention to detail on this machine is truly amazing. The restoration alone was in excess of £17, 000 without the original purchase price. The gentleman sourced as many original parts as possible to the extent that it would be very hard to find anything that is not correct on this machine and possesses many features and accessories of the period. The Harley WLC is a very rare model in its own right and to see one this well executed and correct would be hard. We have been advised by the vendor that 'this machine starts with ease and is a joy to ride'. The WLC is accompanied by a current V5C and a receipt from the restoration company RiE. Store Ltd.
