Please note, this page is very graphics heavy and very much under construction, and will be until I can get some time to sit down and play with HTML/DreamWeaver or some other editing/authoring tools!

So, when I get time I will thumbnail the images and make it flow better, please be patient and feel free to comment, good or bad! And I would welcome contributions from owners of any W.W. II machines, of whatever type. (I can't guarantee that I will publish them).

This minor update 10/10/2004

Why Zündapp? Well ever since I was a 14 year old I wanted a Zündapp KS750 just like the Tamiya model kit! Well now that I am forty three I can afford to indulge myself. So 3 years ago I found a KS750 that needs a good home.

 This is the bike as bought, running but in need of a complete strip down and rebuild.

A short while later the work had started, note the additional parts that have started to accumulate!

In the months (and years) to come I will chronicle the process of restoring the bike, so keep checking for updates.

I recently acquired a BMW R75 as well, however this is now for sale, please see the ad further down.

Lets see what else is around.

This Zündapp K800 belongs to a friend of mine, it is shown at a Military Vehicle Rally at the IWM Duxford England, and is now on display in the Land Warfare hall at Duxford.

This view shows two sparks plugs! Well this machine is a flat 4! (Note the infanterie kart behind it)

This picture shows a Zündapp KS600 and the previously displayed K800 when they were on show under the Junkers JU52 in the Main Hanger at Duxford.

This was Chris Orchards Zündapp KS750, the KS750 and its contemporary the BMW R75 were the Ultimate German WWII military motorcycles. They boasted 4 forward speeds, high and low ratios, drive to the sidecar wheel, locking differential, reverse and the first use of hydraulic brakes on a German motorcycle.

Not Just Zündapps will appear here as the following photos show!

How about this rather nice DKW NZ350. It's a single cylinder 2-stroke.

The ubiquitous BMW R12, this model was the most common German sidecar unit of the war.

Here it is in solo trim

Now this rarity is the Gillet 750, it dwarfs the British Welbike Parabike.

No discussion of German MV's is complete without the NSU Sdkfz 2 Kettenkrad!

This particular kettenkrad is in original condition, it came from Austria where it had been used by a volunteer fire brigade. It has had a thin coat of red paint over the original dunkelgelb, plus the addition of a bracket welded to the passenger foot rest. This machine owned by my friend Gerard Prime is on display at the IWM Duxford.

OK, how about some Armour? This particular PanzerJager IV Lange was captured by British troops, and ended up at the Royal Military College of Science. As a matter of some controversy it was acquired by a private collector, restored to basic running condition as pictured here at Beltring in 1998. Subsequently a deal was struck that saw it being acquired by the Patton Museum in Fort Knox USA.

This area is for buying and selling W.W.II military vehicles.

Approx 1942/43 manufacture.

This machine has been dry stored in the UK for nearly 40 years.

It was brought to the UK in the early 1960's from Libya. It has never been to Russia and is not a worn out dog!

It has a matching BW43 sidecar and body from Normandy, the sidecar chassis still has its original paint!

Looking for Zundapp KS750’s and parts, BMW R75’s and parts, NSU Kettenkrad and parts.

Also interested in any German WWII Armour and Halftrack’s or parts! Please email any info to the address below.

I will continue to add more images, graphics, frames and links to related sites. The site will, I hope expand to look at other vehicles that are in private ownership, for sale or wanted. BTW I am not a dealer; this is a free service.

In the meantime, please send me an email if you want to discuss the subject, or want to buy or sell a machine.
