1960 Berkeley B95
Ludo2023
Uppsala
Basic Information and History
This is as rare as they come and in some circles a highly sought-after little car. Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1959, it is estimated that only around 178 Berkley B95 and B105 were ever produced and this is predicted to be the only example in Sweden. Only 20-30 cars were sold for export and this is one of them, ie. LHD and originally sold new in Germany and later imported to Sweden.
The limited edition combined with the very good condition makes this an attractive item for the right collector.
The Berkley B95 is powered by a 692cc twin cylinder 4 stroke engine normally found in a motorcycle. This may seem a bit on the small side, but with a total weight of only about 400kg, there is documentation of little Berkleys easily flying passed the magic 100mph mark (160km/h).
This is a rare example in great condition with only 427 miles on the odometer!

Summary
These little Berkley cars are really quirky and fun. There are several dedicated clubs around the world and the interest is still great in enthusiast circles. This is a great and rare example and probably also the only registered copy in Sweden. With only 20-30 cars ever exported outside of England, the number of left-hand drive cars is few. This is one of them, so if you're a Berkley fan or just as excited about this fun little roadster as we are. Don't miss the chance because it will probably be a while before it comes again. At least in Sweden.
