Description

Indian Chief Type: 348 Year: 1948
with original factory paint and patina.

Original factory paint in seafoam blue, matching numbers, full dresser with original saddlebags, mirrors, lamps, fender tips, speedometer, ignition switch, windshield etc.
The motorcycle has been completely restored whilst preserving the original patina. (Photo documentation with 100 images is also available), the engine has just been run in.

The Chief was mothballed in a grain mill from 1973 for 30 years, was then restored in Canada by specialist Barry Brown and subsequently went to the USA.
In 2016 the Indian finally came to Germany via a Bonhams auction in Las Vegas.

Such an Indian is extremely rare to find and in an incredible state of preservation whilst having undergone a complete technical overhaul.

The motorcycle is eligible for registration with a classic vehicle report for an H-registration plate or 07 registration plate.
