Description
1924 NER-A-CAR Built in Syracuse, New York, and Sheffield, England, from 1921-1925.
EXTREMELY RARE MUSEUM QUALITY MOTORCYCLE AS SELECTED AND FEATURED IN THE IMPOSSIBLE COLLECTION OF MOTORCYCLES.
Advertised as “300 miles for a dollar” and “85 to 100 miles per gallon”.
The design was fascinating, as it featured hub-center steering. The step-through design and bodywork kept riders clean, allowing them to wear ordinary clothes on their way to work or local shops. Production started in 1921, and had a 221cc 2-stroke engine that produced 2.5 HP.
In the fall of 1922, Erwin “Cannonball” Baker rode a Ner-A-Car from New York City to Los Angeles - it took him just over 174 hours. Production of the Neracar in the U.S. ended in 1927.
*Varying sources online suggest that, of the 16,500 Ner-A-Cars ever built, only about 100 remain. SOLD IN ITS AS-IS RESTORED CONDITION ON ITS UK REGISTRATION THE NICEST EXAMPLE AVAILABLE IN THE WORLD.
Comes with its England ownership paperwork that would need to be surrendered to DMV for a U.S. title to be issued, if one desires.
*Currently the fluids are drained for Museum use, the engine is free and has good compression.
