The Corgi Motorcycle Co Ltd. was a British motorcycle manufacturer based in Southport that produced 98cc scooters based on those originally developed by Brockhouse Engineering who had created the WW2 paratrooper ‘Wellbike scooter’. Production of the Corgi scooter, a 98cc civilian version with spoked wheels for the UK market, began in 1948 and 27,050 were manufactured before production ended in October 1954. The main difference between the Corgi scooter and the Welbike were that the frame was more solid (as weight was no longer such an issue) and the Corgi had a fuel tank in the normal motorcycle position between the handlebars and the saddle. Some were even marketed as an Indian Papoose.
This example is apparently almost complete except for the lights and has a ‘Spryte’ engine fitted. With a full history known from new, it is currently lightly assembled and is offered with an original buff RF60 log book.
