1958 Mercury Mercette 60cc 4-stroke
The Mercette is one of the rarest British cyclemotors, and this example – believed one of only four to have survived – is in excellent all-round condition.
Mercury Industries (Birmingham) Ltd. was founded in 1946 and produced large numbers of bicycles, initially in Birmingham and then in Dudley; they made commercial delivery bicycles for Cyclemaster Ltd which, when fitted with an engine, became the ‘Cyclemaster Roundsman.’
I have a particular interest in Mercury machines, as I have several Mercury bicycles and a Mercury Hermes scooter. I’ve recently set up a museum website dedicated to Mercury bicycles and Mercury Industries Ltd -

FEEDBACK: I do everything I can to make your purchase a pleasurable experience. But I only leave feedback when someone has taken the trouble to leave it for me.
VEHICLE CONDITION: Vintage vehicles are wonderful beasts – but each has an individual personality and they sometimes have bad days just like you and me.
You will need basic mechanical skills (or a local mechanic) to use one on a regular basis.
2-Stroke engines – and cyclemotors in particular – are notoriously unreliable. Basic servicing is generally required if unused for even a few weeks.
These are rare vehicles whose values are not necessarily based on running order.
Unless an auction description specifically states that the vehicle is running, THE VEHICLE IS SOLD FOR RESTORATION.
I purposely understate the condition of any vintage vehicle sold on behalf of a 3rd party. I am not liable for the condition of any vehicle not owned by me.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE ABOVE, PLEASE DO NOT BID.
