Description
Listing my absolutely exceptional BMW R51/ 3 (1953) for a limited time before submitting her to the auction houses if a private sale isn’t successful.
I bought this UK bike in 2017 and have lovingly maintained and upgraded it via marque specialists since.
Originally sold in the UK in the early 50’s by Miles Motors of Uxbridge, this bike has a comprehensive history file of ownership, maintenance and upgrades.
It starts absolutely without fail whether coming out of winter hibernation or for my daily/ weekly outings.

Electronic ignition
Period correct bar end (led) indicators
Discreet (Practically invisible) rear {led) indicators (Motogadget Micro)

Separate Hoske hand made aluminium racing fuel tank.
Tracker fitted
USB port fitted
Engine rebuild in 2022 (Just to tighten her up)
Leather Paniers (1948) supplied with bike. I bought this bike as I had always longed for one. It has not disappointed in any way. Ridiculously reliable and such a smooth ride. I am selling it now simply because I am downsizing my life and my motorcycle collection has to be slimmed down.
If you are looking for a bargain classic, this is not it. If you are seeking a reliable, appreciating piece of motorcycle history that you can jump on and ride in style, this IS the one. With detailed documented history under my ownership and previous owners this is a very very well maintained and sympathetically modernised classic motorcycle.
Will be listing for a limited time before moving on to Bonham’s etc.
