For Sale, 1 careful owner from new

Wife 1964 Model

Needs silencer, as it is currently VERY LOUD. Intake valve is stuck in the open position.

Rear end needs major overhaul. A crack there has grown monstrously large.

Needs re-wiring—Many wires are currently crossed.

Lots of little dings in the body, which have been covered up with too much paint in a failed effort at camouflaging them.

Needs re-upholstering—Carpet has turned a dingy grey.

Needs front-end work--Headlights are too close to the ground, and fenders are too far apart.

May not pass emissions test, as it currently produces foul clouds of malodorous gases on a regular basis,

Heater works great. Hot air is never in short supply..

Asking £500 or trade for 1984 model.

It’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

How many of us have a similar model? Nothing wrong with having a little runaround as well for pleasure though.........

Something you can tinker with at the weekend, needs a lot of servicing, but otherwise low-maintenance. Purrs nicely at all speeds,

As long as the parts to keep it running nicely aren't too expensive.

Which is the better ride after some fine tuning and some after market addons??

Caution: Blowing the horn too often in the little sporty model, will inevitably attract unwelcome attention.
