Harley Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and has gone on to become one of the world's most iconic and longest-running motorcycle manufacturers. During the Second World War, they 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 cubic inch flathead it became known as the 'Liberator' to the many soldiers who relied on its rugged reliability. The WLC was the version supplied to the Canadian Army, much the same as the WLA the US Army used but with a few detail changes.

This particular WLC has formed part of a private collection of motorcycles. One of just 2,647 produced during the 1943 model year for the Canadian Army ‘YVL 369’ had previously resided in the Netherlands where it was subject to a restoration. The machine has been dry stored in recent years and will therefore require recommissioning before use on the road.
