SOLD: ‘Elvis’ (1966 VW Splitcreen Campervan)

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

UPDATE 15TH MAY 2007:
JOHN AND PAM BOUGHT ELVIS 3 WEEKS AGO. LAST WEEK, THEY FLEW DOWN FROM EDINBURGH AND DROVE ELVIS BACK!
556 miles (with 2 stopovers en route).
They’d never driven a splitscreen before - nor left-hand drive. There were storms and strong winds. An epic journey.
Respect…

SOLD: 1934 Norton ‘Model 50’ 350cc ohv

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

I fell in love with this beautiful motorcycle after seeing the Che Guevera film where they tour South America on a pre-war Norton. It’s the second year of Model 50 production and is a very rare bike. It looks great, and also starts, runs and handles well, and would be an excellent investment.

SOLD: 1958 Zundapp 201S

Friday, January 5th, 2007

I’ve owned quite a few post-war German motorcycles and have found them to be well-built and pleasant to ride. This Zundapp is well-restored and the engine is quite pokey for a 200. It’s ideal as a runaround and, being rare in this country, would make a fine show bike too.

UPDATE 3 JUNE 2007: I’ve swapped […]

1959 Maicoletta Scooter

I’ve owned this scooter for 3 years, though don’t use it much now. It’s in excellent original condition and starts and runs well. I’ll sell it simply because it deserves to have an owner who uses it!
I really bought […]

SOLD: 1965 Lambretta Lambro Fli 175 Series 2 Triporteur

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

UPDATE: 30 MAY 2007: NOW SOLD

This is my 1965 Lambro FLi 175 Lambretta triporteur. It has a 125cc engine fitted, but I don’t know if this was installed from the factory or later. It’s in good running order except that the diff is noisy; so we’ll have that apart as the first job.
The body is […]

SOLD: 1960 Excelsior Consort 98cc

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

The previous owner stored this motorcycle for over 40 years. After a day with my mechanic and some new tyres, it passed its MOT and now buzzes around wonderfully in its new lease of life.

SOLD: 1953 Ford Prefect

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

The previous owner cherished this lovely old Prefect for over 20 years. The bodywork is excellent and it has a rebuilt engine. It appeared in the TV soap ‘Emmerdale Farm’ 10 years ago.
The interior is just as wonderful as the outside of the car. This beautiful 54-year-old Ford is good enough to enter for shows.

SOLD: 1946 Triumph 3T

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

I’ve owned this bike for 3 years. It’s been my daily runaround ever since. I bought a Triumph 350 because I’d hurt my back and couldn’t get on with big bikes. Now my back’s better I’ve recently bought a 5T for regular use, so unfortunately this faithful friend must go.
It starts first kick in […]
