US & CANADIAN BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE; BECAUSE OF RECENT UPGRADED SECURITY REGULATIONS I CAN ONLY SHIP VEHICLES TO PERSONS IN THE US OR CANADA WHO ARE IN THE POSSESSION OF AN OFFICIAL PASSPORT.(AN ID-CARD OR DRIVERS-LICENSE ETC. ARE NOT GETTING ACCEPTED ANYMORE BY AUTHORITIES IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY A RECIPIENT). PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU’RE ABLE TO MEET WITH THIS REQUIREMENT BEFORE BIDDING, OR MAKE SURE YOU CAN HAVE SOMEONE IN LINE WITH A VALID US PASSPORT WHO IS WILLING TO HELP YOU OUT ON THIS. Today it is very hard to source a very rare machine like this, especially in an original and not restored condition. After WW2 there was in Europe a huge demand for transport in an economical way, where this Poirier trike was a cross-breed between a motorcycle and a little two-seated (sports-)car.In France this type of vehicle was classified as a Voiturette or cycle-car, meaning very small motor-vehicle. In total only a couple of thousand of these Poirier trikes have been built, this trike has serial # 1555 and the original builders id.-plate is still in place. The original windscreen is still with it and will of course be send along with the trike (I've forgotten to picture this, but can of course send you a picture of it when you want). The vehicle has been taken out of regular use about 10 years ago, but has been running a couple of times a year during this period.The body is showing some light surface rust and a few dings and scratches, which is to my idea perfectly acceptable after almost 60 years. This trike comes with its French title which declares that it was first registered on March 5th 1956 and I will provide the buyer an official bill of sale from my company here in Belgium. Furthermore I’ll make sure that all the correct export-paperwork will be in place before the bike leaves from here, which documents will make the process of importing it into the US an easy ride. -On this listing I’m offering a special (fully sealed) motorcycle crate, careful packing and physical shipping from here in Belgium to a US CFS-depot as close as possible to you at my expense, meaning that I will pay for having the trike crated and all handling etc. at my end plus the ocean-freight charge, where you are responsible for all charges at your end, like ISF filing, entry fees, port-handling, eventually broker fees etc.If you want any additional information about this, please ask before you place a bid. Furthermore, when you want to receive some better photo's of the trike/shipping, or want to recieve more information about this item, just let me know. I accept PayPal payments. -Additional information to this listing; Like can be seen, the trike has after almost 60 years MANY traces of use and age (patina). I only offer shipping by sea, where of course we can advise you on forehand about the process of importing the machine into your country. Like can be read in the link, this antique bike is because of its age and displacement exempt from US import-duty and EPA regulations; https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/278/~/importing-classic-or-antique-vehicles-%2F-cars-for-personal-use The crated vehicle will safely sail in a consolidated container and the shipment is fully insured for eventual damage/loss. I always do the packing myself and will send you a good set of photo's of the process of packing and actual delivery at the Antwerp warehouse of the shipping-company as soon as everything's finished.
