• Full documented history from new
• Multiple magazine and journal featured scooter
• Large Heinkel and Tourist trove of information supplied

The Heinkel Tourist was launched in 1953 by German aircraft manufacturer Heinkel Flugzeugwerke. It was known in England as the ‘Rolls Royce of scooters’ and in the USA as the ‘Cadillac of scooters’. This original 1959 example was registered new on April 21st 1959. It appears not to have found an owner until January 1961 when an Alexander Staig, who is the only known previous owner, appears on the logbook. There are photographs included in the file of Mr Staig with the scooter back in the day. It was featured in a major article in ‘Classic Scooterist’ in October 2019, it has also featured in several club journals.

On inspection, the scooter appears complete and the original indicators are included in the spare parts supplied. It is showing some 23,816 miles, which is believed credible. The original fuel information transfers are visible inside the leg shield. All keys are present for seat lock, steering lock and the ignition starter. The lot comes with some spare parts.
