1957 DNEPR SIDECAR K750

KEY FACTS

• An unusual 1950s sidecar motorcycle, built in Ukraine and which has since spent time in Germany and the UK.
• It is powered by a 750cc two-cylinder engine, coupled to a five-speed gearbox.
• It was a non-runner when inherited by the vendor, but now starts and runs.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Its frame and bodywork is finished in dark olive green paintwork, with a black rubber seat for the rider, and with the sidecar seat trimmed in black and protected by a black vinyl tonneau cover.
• The bike rides on wire wheels, with a rear-mounted spare.
• It will be accompanied by a date and identification certificate.

CONDITION

• The vendor has indicated a few small dents in the bodywork.
• Its green paint is in generally good condition, presented with a lightly aged ‘patina’, and with a few stone ships and scuffs on the sidecar, fuel tank and fenders.
• The sidebar seat presents well, and has likely been re-trimmed in the past.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The bike is exempt from mandatory MOT testing.
• While the bike starts and the vendor has driven it forwards, the vendor does not know how to engage reverse gear, so this has not been tested.
