Relic: The 105-year-old Indian Camelback 'motorbike' is worth £50,000 thanks to its 'unrestored' appearance. [Agencies] |
閱讀難度:
Just 1,698 pairs of these rare cycles were produced 105 years ago, with its "unrestored" state meaning the relic could fetch as much as 50,000 pounds at auction, Daily Mail reported.
The ancient bicycle is in fact a 1906 Indian Camelback, one of the first ever two-wheeled motorized machines and one which is hugely desirable to collectors.
And it packs a puny 2.25 horse, has a single cylinder and top speed of just 30mph.
The motorcycle is going under the hammer at Bonhams in Las Vegas, Nev., on Jan. 12.
