1940 De Havilland DH-82A Tiger Moth II
$AUD105'000
A beautifully presented 1940 De Havilland DH-82A Tiger Moth II, VH-ZIS, with just 576 hours total time and a complete ground-up restoration completed in 2001. Based in South Australia and hangared at Goolwa, this is a well-kept example of one of Australia’s most recognisable vintage biplanes.
Power comes from a De Havilland Gipsy I engine with 576 hours since new and a 1,500-hour TBO. The aircraft is fitted with a Hoffman propeller, Slick magnetos, toe brakes and a wind-driven 12V generator.
VH-ZIS has been owner-flown and kept hangared, making it an appealing option for a buyer looking for a classic Tiger Moth with a straightforward history and a strong presentation.
