• The Ner-A-Car is one of the strangest and most forward-thinking motorcycles ever mass-produced. It looked like a cross between a scooter, a small car, and a motorcycle decades before scooters became mainstream. Even today it still feels futuristic
• Designed by Carl Neracher around 1918–1919 as 'nearly a car' - which is where the name came from, it was effectively trying to invent the modern scooter and commuter motorcycle decades early
• By 1924, production was in full swing across both sides of the Atlantic - manufactured by the Ner-A-Car Corporation in Syracuse, New York, and under licence by Sheffield-Simplex in Kingston-on-Thames
• Our vendor believes that this is an American-built machine that may have been sold to Holland originally as it has a Dutch dealer plate fitted to the front mudguard. Paperwork from Holland describes it as a 1921 model and lists it as 221cc (the DVLA may have confused it with a later British-built example and recorded it as 1924 and 284cc).
• It's an older restoration, yet still presents very well. Purchased by our vendor some 11 years ago, with little use in that period, forming part of his extensive collection
• Supplied with a current V5C (correctly classed as Historic) and various documents from Holland concerning the bike 
• Running and riding well and proving to be an easy starter, this is a good opportunity to purchase a fine example of the remarkably innovative, over 100 years old, Ner-A-Car
