Hi a friend of mine purchaced a Norman Nippy he thinks only last week. There`s no paperwork with it and I was hoping someone could put a year and model to it from the following information.
Engine Type 3K Villiers
Engine number 906B / 1985
Frame number B06164
Many thanks and fingers crossed.

probably the best thing would be to get in touch with the Norman OC Buddy,they probably have the works records?

Not much help. I recall a Norman Nippy that a neighbour owned when they were new.
His developed an interesting habit of sometimes starting the engine backwards. He would start the engine and it would smartly reverse.

Regards Kels.

Thanks for your replies guys I`ve sent the same topic to the Norman club but as of yet alas no response. One can only wait in hope.
Many thanks and keep well.

Hi
Some of the mopeds look very similar.
Have a look on here, the NACC gallery, http://www.thebuzzingclub.co.uk/archive/galindex.html
to see if there is anything else it may be.
Also the NACC might have the info re: numbers that you want to check.
