Description from the seller
Exceptionally well-preserved specimen of the legendary Kreidler Van Veen (KVV) cross motorcycle, year of manufacture 1982. This is one of the last crossers produced in the Van Veen / Kreidler era, built in Duderstadt (Germany).
The KVV cross bike is an icon of Dutch and German motocross sport from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Van Veen built these crossers in cooperation with Gebben and Homoet, based on the best Kreidler technology available. It is estimated that only about 1,300 units were built, making these crossers today particularly rare collector's items.
This exemplar is in very good condition and has been professionally restored. The frame has been sandblasted and spray-painted in the original red color. All parts are original or period-correct.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
