Harley Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and has gone on to become one of the world's most iconic and longest-running motorcycle manufacturers. During the Second World War, they produced over 100,000 WLA/WLC models along with many spare parts to keep the bikes running in difficult conditions. Based on the 750cc 45 cubic inch flathead it became known as the 'Liberator' to the many soldiers who relied on its rugged reliability.
The WLC was the version supplied to the Canadian Army, much the same as the WLA the US Army used but with a few detail changes. This particular bike dates back to 1943 and presumably made its way to Europe during the later stages of the war. It comes with a V5C showing its date of first registration as being 28.06.1946 so was probably left behind at the end of the hostilities and sold into private use. Kept in a private collection of American vehicles it has been recently run by the vendor but will need some recommissioning before use although the vendor has recently had it running.
