1923 Henderson ‘K Model Deluxe ‘ with sidecar

The motorcycle with sidecar outfit was restored back in the 1980s and was fully operational. It was taken on a number of rallies with the family on board and undertook a road trip from Sydney to Perth and back. In between rallies, it was housed in Kevin’s garage until 2011 when it was moved to its current display stand at the National Motor Racing Museum in Bathurst.

The motorcycle has sustained minor damage from a leaking battery (which has since been removed from the battery case) and from an article recently falling onto the paintwork on the front mudguard.

1925/26 Ace ‘Four’ – SOLD

A mostly complete and extremely rare and desirable in-line four cylinder Ace motorcycle circa 1925.  Said by some to be the pinnacle of Bill Henderson’s achievements.

The engine was restored by Kevin and appears to turn. The parts were collected by him but it was never completed. We have since assembled much of it with the help of another Ace owner to give an indication of how spectacular the bike will be when it is fully restored and to check for completeness. The frame has been undercoated and the wheels and tank painted.  It comes with a box of spares and additional parts that were not put into the bike as yet such as the front fork spring.

This bike was sold in December 2015.
