Description from the seller
A very impressive and historically accurate scale model of the Daimler motorcycle from 1885, produced at 1:8 scale and manufactured by Franklin Mint. This model is a faithful reproduction of the very first motorized two-wheeler ever built by Daimler, generally regarded as the founder of the modern motorcycle.
The model is exceptionally detailed and constructed from real wood, combined with metal and brass-colored mechanical components. The open construction wonderfully showcases the early engine concept with visible drive, gears, cylinders, and fuel system. The saddle is leather-look with a quilted diamond pattern, fully in keeping with the original 19th-century design.
Thanks to the large scale (1:8), every detail stands out particularly well. This is not an ordinary scale model, but a museum-worthy collectible that is of great technical and historical interest.
The model is in very good condition, with no breaks or missing parts. It comes from a private collection and has always been stored carefully. Ideal as a focal point in a collection, in the office, showroom, or study.
