1958 VICTORIA 250 - 1 of 24 Microcar --- NO RESERVE!!! Up for bid at NO RESERVE is this 1958 Victoria 250 Microcar built by the Victoria Motorcycle Company out of Nuremberg, Germany. This lil Victoria needs a complete and full restoration as the pictures indicate. The engine is a 250cc one-cylinder that develops 14 hp @ 5200 rpm and is capable of 60 mph. The engine does not run but it does turn. It came with a 5 gear electronic gearshift that used dash mounted buttons: reverse, neutral and first, and with second, third and fourth selected by a small lever in conjuction with the clutch. It is not known by the seller what is needed here to make it roadworthy once again but there is much talent out there who can fix, fabricate and restore virtually everything to its original purpose once again. This Victoria 250 deserves to be restored to its former glory. The original windshield is in great condition. It is out of the car but I placed it near the windshield frame for picture purposes. There also appears to be all or part of the soft top bows: no longer affixed to the car but it is included in the sale. Only 729 Victoria's were built during 1957 and 1958. This is car number 591. Today there are only 24 survivors making this West German built car one of the rarest of the rare. The body is made of fiberglass. The design of the Victoria is credited to: Egon Brutsch. Former Tatra engineer Hans Ledwinka designed the central tube frame chassis. The engine: Victoria. The unique detachable side curtains act as doors as one of the picture indicates. There is a complete copy of an owners manual (written in German) that comes with the car. This will help with the restoration. The length is 3360 mm, width 1450 mm and the weight is 425 kg. The car comes with a clean and clear Arkansas title. The history of this Victoria is known all the way back to 1990. It has always been garaged during this time. A Victoria 250 rarely comes up for sale but one did recently... almost exactly one year ago during the Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum Collection sale.
