The Corgi Motorcycle Co Ltd. was a British motorcycle manufacturer based in Southport, that produced 98cc scooters developed by managing director John Dolphin from the military Welbike motorcycle design. Production of the Corgi scooter 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.
Corgi A: This Corgi was purchased as a restoration project by the current vendor who restored it, powder-coating the frame, wheels, and mudguards with an engine rebuild. We have been advised it has good compression and a good spark. It comes complete with a current V5C.
Corgi B: Purchased from a deceased estate as partly restored, the current vendor has carried out the rest of the work with some still to complete, (lights wiring up) not used in the last 2 years. This machine will need to be registered as there is no documentation with it.
Corgi C: Purchased from the same deceased estate as partly restored, the current vendor has carried out the rest of the work with some still to complete (lights wiring up etc.) and not used in the last 2 years. This machine will need to be registered as there is no documentation with it.
