1942-54 Brockhouse Corgi Folding 98cc scooter. Developed from the Welbike (1942-46), originally made for the British Army. It was sold in America as the Indian Papoose (this is for real!), with Indian being part of the Brockhouse empire at the time. Why I know? I own a Corgi. Best fun you can have out of bed! |

there is no such thing as a "1942 Brockhouse Corgi"..the date is important.......from 1942 to 1945 it was the military "Excelsior Welbike"....in 1945 the much modified civillian postwar version was the "Brockhouse Corgi"..the vehicle in picture is the 1945 onwards brockhouse Corgi |

"The Brockhouse Corgi was manufactured in Southport, Merseyside. The Mark 1 (1947) was exported to the USA as the Indian Papoose, as Brockhouse had recently bought the Indian company name. As Mark 1s were not officially sold in UK, the Mark 2 was the first model available here, released in 1948." from here. "A development of the wartime Welbike, a small ‘fold-away’ lightweight motorcycle designed for dropping by parachute, the Corgi appeared in 1948. Manufactured by Brockhouse Engineering of Southport, it was powered by a built-under-license Excelsior Spryt 98cc two-stroke single. Carrying its horizontal engine in a low-slung tubular frame on top of which sat the fuel tank, the saddle was mounted bicycle-fashion on a tubular seat post and the handlebars could be folded down flat. Early models initially had no kick-starter, but this was soon introduced along with a dog clutch and, in 1949, a two-speed gearbox and telescopic forks became options." from 2006 auction listing. |
