1898 Rudge-Whitworth Racing Tricycle

This rare tricycle has been sympathetically restored and is in good all round condition. Its frame number is indistinct, but I interpret is as 893– which would tie in with the year 1898. The chainwheel style and design tallies with that age too, though it could be a year earlier; in 1899 the company introduced a new chainwheel. The Rudge-Whitworth saddle has a new leather top. New ‘Red Brick’ tyres and tubes are fitted. It has recently been serviced and is ready to ride.
