Victoria

The Victoria company began in 1886 in Nurnberg, and made its first motorcycle in 1901. By 1921 they had developed a model powered by a BMW 494cc two-cylinder, side-valve engine. In 1923, only two years later, they started using a 497cc overhead valve engine of their own Victoria design, that was later increased to 597cc.
Zweirad Union, which included DKW and Victoria, terminated Express production in 1959.

I know nothing of these bikes. However, I'll give you £50 for it.

Jammys next bike?

[Bibio]

looks like a cracking project bike and i would jump at the chance.

[dirtydog]

Well if it wasn't so far away I'd probably have it

[squirrel_hunter]

How far is too far?

[dirtydog]

About 6000 miles

So whats the story then?

[dirtydog]

Friend of mine is over in SA and is looking at getting a shipping container and putting a couple of mk1 escorts in it and saw it in the a garage when he was looking at an escort and wondered what it is and if it was worth anything.
He doesn't know much about bikes and was confused by it as someone has stuck a bmw sticker on it.

If it was worth something etc he would've made room in the container

[squirrel_hunter]

I see. Are Escorts worth the effort, I know not of these things?

[dirtydog]

Yeah they are, going for silly money at the moment especially if it's a mexico!

A mint condition mexico will sell for £20k+

The RS is sought after as well

The normal 2 door escorts still go for upto £8-10k for a mint one the same car in SA is a fraction of that
