From the one other topic I've seen on here.. Apparently they're not the best!
But never the less.. It's another one of our many hidden treasures in our house, that we forget all about..



The tax disc is when it was last on the road, not sure if it runs, always fascinated me, could possibly be the next project after the pop!
Apologises for the bad picture, it's hidden in the corner of the mechanics shed Smile

Charlotte!

Go for it ! Smile

Regarding them "not being the best" many of the classics cars that we cherish, were not the best in their day!!

I have a mate who restores old motor bikes, and as he continually points out, to restore, it takes a fraction of the time compared to a car.

Cheers

There is an active Cycle motor section out there who would welcome you with open arms, plus give any guidance on who stocks the magic dust to revive the wisp...

There are several of us on here with old mopeds, so it'd be interesting to see more about this Smile

I shall try and get a few more pictures of it, it's not in bad condition I don't think! It's just hiding behind a lot of other stuff!!
From what I know.. I think my uncle "acquired it" somehow.. We have a lot of stuff in our house, that's been "found before lost" shall we say, from when my uncle was younger!! And now we have them!!
