  • Original unrestored late model C90 Cub
  • The best-selling vehicle of all time
  • Rare survivor supplied with a current V5C

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. In 1958 the Honda Cub was released and has gone on to become the best-selling motorised vehicle ever produced with over 100 million sales in every corner of the world. The Cub was sold in 50cc, 70cc and 90cc engine sizes and could stake a claim for being the most important and influential motorised vehicle ever designed. To put things into context, the Cub range has sold more individual units than the top three best-selling cars combined! The C90 Cub may be the best-selling vehicle of all time, but not many have survived the rigours of serious go-to-work use and then the ignominy of becoming many future motorcyclist's first field bike.

This late model example, being offered at 'no reserve', is from a deceased estate and is presented in original and unrestored condition, still fitted with its genuine silencer. Last MOT'd in 2018, it has not been run for a while, so it will need recommissioning before use, however, the engine turns over freely on the kickstarter and it comes supplied with a current V5C.
