Whether you’re a full-blown petrolhead, a vintage enthusiast or just a person who appreciates beautiful lines and designs — this is bound to wet your appetite. 87 super-rare bikes, primarily from the 20s & 30s, including Harley’s, Indian’s, Pierce, Zündapp and Rambler — all for sale!

In the forests of Värmland, just outside Karlstad, one of Sweden’s largest private collections of vintage vehicles has resided in a private museum for decades. Ingemar Liljegren’s interest in vehicles began when he bought his first 98cc motorcycle at the age of 15. However, it was in his thirties that his vehicle collection truly took off, with the acquisition of several cars and motorcycles.

**HARLEY DAVIDSON**, J, Model year: 1922 Frame number: none visible Engine: 2-cylinder V-Twin, IOE, 1000cc Engine number: 22J1478 Vehicle has no title, Custom clearance receipt shows it was imported to Sweden from Norway year 2007.

This passion has persisted for about 60 years, during which many vehicles have joined the collection, and many have been sold. But the ones that have meant the most to Ingemar have remained in what is now referred to as — The Liljegren Motorcycle Collection.

At the age of 15, Ingemar Liljegren’s introduction to motorcycles came with a memorable purchase costing a mere 75 SEK (6.75 USD, Autumn 2023), earned through summer labor as a peat miner in the early 1950s. This humble 98cc two-wheeler ignited his enduring passion for both motorcycles and cars. Over the years, his collection grew significantly, previously housed in a secluded museum nestled in the forests of Värmland.
