My Vacation Finds

**António Fragoeiro** · 06-05-2011, 06:21 PM

Been on vacation this past week and it has been really good. Went to an auction and won a motorbike on a bid and found some more items and still had time to go to the beach.
Items coming right up.
Im starting with the smaller items.
These were found in a antique fair earlier this morning.
1st 1943 British jerrycan, it has been painted in red but the coat of paint is really thin and in some parts the original paint can be seen. it only cost me 5 euros.

Next, the second find in the antique fair, an 1917 Portuguese CDT, stands for ( civil Defesa Territorial) in english ( Territorial civil Defense ) its in pour state, but still a nice relic to have. This wasnt cheap, 20

And last my auction find.
A 1971 Casal Siera De luxe, its the only motorcycle interily made in portugal.
However it does not work, maybe because it was build in portugal

Just kiding, its does not work because the fuel pump is not sending fuel to the carburator. Its a simple thing to fix. It has a lot of rust and the chromes are oxidated, It will take time but i will have restored back to its former glory. These are quite rare around here.
The photos.

This particular model does not have a key ignition. Instead it has switch in the top of the headlight

50 euros for a rare motorcycle?!? WOW!!!

A bargain!

Watch out for those 'taillight'-thieves.

I already started restoring it, started with the chromes in the exhaust, front fork, structure and the headlight. Here are some photos of what i have done so far.
Enjoy
