1962 Heinkel Tourist A-02, 174cc. Registration number 248 XVH (non transferrable). Frame number 0259438. Engine number 608443. Heinkel Flugzeugwerke's Tourist scooter was launched on to the export market in November 1955 and withdrawn ten years later. As might be expected from a German aircraft manufacturer, the machine was very thoroughly engineered, with an OHV 4-stroke engine derived from the company's bubble-car, fan-cooling, electric dynamotor starting and under-seat luggage compartment, then rare on scooters. All this came at a price and the 'Tourist' was expensive when compared to the Italian ranges which limited foreign sales, making survivors scarce. Promoted on the East Coast of the US at one time as 'The Cadillac of Scooters,' it was indeed a quality item. The Tourist had a frame of steel tubes to which pressed steel panels were fixed. The 4-stroke motor, with electric start and a 4-speed gearbox was under the seat and its rear drive chain was sealed in an oil bath, unable to coat either the riders or the bike itself. This example was imported from Belgium by our vendor and underwent a bare metal restoration. The engine was running well so only needed a comprehensive service. It was first registered with DVLA by our vendor in August 2019 and was ridden to the saleroom and around our site. An easy machine to start and ride, it makes a change from Lambrettas and Vespas. Sold with the V5C and an instruction manual.
