• One Owner Bike • Previously Restored • Rare Bike • MOT and Tax Exempt
The Background
Like most motorcycle companies Husqvarna started out making bicycles and it wouldn’t be until 1903 that they’d start manufacturing motorcycles. Although they have made motorcycles for street use and road racing, they’re better known for their world championship winning motocross and endurobikes.
During the 1960s and 70’s their light weight two stroke methodology helped them to 14 motocross championships in the 125cc, 250cc and 500cc categories, 24 enduro world championships and 11 Baja 1000 victories.
This bike was produced during Husqvarna’s winning decades so you can be sure that it is an excellent bike to ride.
There is not a huge amount of history that is available for the bike, but we can say that it has been restored at some point in the past. There is an up to date V5, which was applied for during February of 2021. There is also the original blue logbook which details the original owner from Troon.
It is a rare occurrence for this bike to have been UK registered from new back in 1978 and due to the age of the bike it now benefits from being MOT and Tax exempt.
Sometime in the past this vehicle seems to have been subject to a restoration. The tanks paintwork is great, the decals and numbers are also presented in great condition. All in all a very well presented example of a WR360GP.
This bike starts easily, drives well, and sounds great. There isn’t any work that is noted to be needed anytime soon. So, all in all this bike is a very sound mechanically.
Produced during the height of their success in the enduro world this WR360 GP is a very clean example of a rare bike. With this race winning pedigree, it makes this motorcycle even more special and this is your chance to own a clean and rare bike.
In purchasing this bike, you are unlocking a chance to explore the rugged outdoors. You’ll be able to take this capable machine down some of the great off-road lanes that the UK has to offer. You are not just restricted to off-roading as due to the bikes age and rarity it is now eligible to race in Classic Twinshock MX Racing championships. This is a truly unique way to enjoy this bike in the environment it was designed for all those years ago.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
