THE APPEAL

We are delighted to offer this 1951 Harley Davidson Servicar in resplendent Sky Blue. The culmination of a comprehensive “Ground up” Full Restoration, this rare model boasts refreshed original features as well as practical additions that enhance inherent functionality without compromising form.

These additions notably include an Electric Start and 12V Lighting which hugely benefit the usability and general riding experience. Originally designed as an Automotive Service towing vehicle, the Servicar was popular for small businesses and Police stations in the US before evolving into a distinctly unique and equally rare Harley Davidson icon.

Both the history and working order of this trike are extremely well-documented with paperwork and guides to compliment an impressively substantial set of Spares. This thorough detail is mirrored in a meticulous Restoration that renews the Servicar heritage for the modern era.
