Honda Dream 3E – year 1953
The oldest version of 3E model – very rare, has got the same wheel hubs like 2E model. Later 3E had oval wheel hubs. Engine and frame matching numbers. I am the 2nd owner since 1953.
Purchased in Japan a couple years ago. Since new, bike was stored in a dry room. Due it, the rust has never shown up. Until 2018 bike was in original condition. Still has got genuine drive chain and sprockets.
In 2018 bike was completely restored. New paint, all needed parts rechromed, engine and carb rebuilt, new wiring loom, new rear lens, headlight refreshed, new rubbers and tyres. Every single part looks like in 1953. Painted using enamel similar to the Honda’s one.
Runs at the first kick. Top compression. There is no oil smoke from the muffler. Engine doesn’t stall – runs very stable. Bike clutches, stops and shifts gears perfectly. Charging is great. Every single electrical part works fine.
Engine is 10km after rebuild, so it should be broken in by next owner.
Very genuine example of Honda Dream 3E.
Bike will be sold in Bonhams Stafford Autumn Show 19-20 October 2019.

Rex:
Very Teutonic styling but for that price I'd expect tidy wiring and oil pipes...

murdo:
Agreed.

iansoady:
Interesting bike but ludicrous price even if it had been original.

TGR90B:
Possibly a dealer? This is hardly the place for adverts like that IMO.
