This extremely rare example is arguably the most talked about and prized of any motorcycle toy known. While it is painted in blue with black roof, it's interesting to note some red color in tiny areas seemingly proving the company made a color change for a possible special order; the clockwork mechanism makes this cycle a Holy Grail of finds, as the company discontinued this design shortly upon its' initial introduction.
This example is in near mint condition, with one rubber tire having a split from shelf seating over the years. It is a striking toy with Hegarty Collection Provenance and a true museum quality piece.
