A development of the wartime Welbike, a small ‘fold-away’ lightweight motorcycle designed for dropping by parachute, the Corgi first appeared in 1948. Manufactured by Brockhouse Engineering, of Southport, it was powered by a built-under-license Excelsior Spryt 98cc two-stroke single. A kick-starter and dog clutch were soon introduced on the Mark II version and then for 1949 a two-speed gearbox and telescopic forks became available as options. This example has been refinished in military livery and is offered without documents.
