We do not need to introduce Harley-Davidson, the American symbol of freedom, of an America of unending landscapes passing by in the vibrant rear-view mirror of a V Twin at full speed! The Electra Glide is a particularly iconic model from the Milwaukee manufacturer. Fitted with the famous V-twin in its 1340cc version, it belongs to the "shovelhead" generation, a name taken from the cylinder heads evoking the shape of a shovel. The Electra Glide, the first Harley with an electric starter, was the brand's flagship then. With its characteristic noise, it is a machine that is not likely to go unnoticed!
The one we present is unique in the world...it is new from stock with its counter displaying 00001 miles! It is impossible to find such an incredibly well-preserved time capsule. It is still on its original wooden pallet which allowed it to be transported from the Milwaukee factory to the distributor. This particular Harley was delivered to the agent HD Co of El Cajon in California. And it has never been unboxed! Its handlebar, delivered disassembled, and supplied with it, has never been mounted. All original tags are present. It is simply brand new...what more can we say?!
Impact on VAT: As the vehicle has been driven less than 6,000 kilometers, it can be considered "as new" for VAT purposes in certain European countries. Please contact your local tax authorities for confirmation prior to purchase. For a French buyer, a VAT of 20% will be charged on the hammer price and the premium.
