So, I've gone and got myself a little restoration project to tinker with when I get a little bit of spare time. It's definitely not a Skoda.

 

Picked up this little guy last night for £35

 

 

Saw him pop up on Facebook Marketplace and decide I could give him a home

 

He's in fairly decent nick structurally, the pedaling mechanism is all ok. I'll be stripping him right down and fully powder coating him. His tracking is slightly off so a new steering rod is on the cards and I need to see if I can source a replacement spare wheel to bolt on the back and his windscreen is missing. The original screen looks to be just a simple bit of metal tubing so worst case, I may fabricate a new one. He needs a horn too but that shouldn't be too hard to sort.

 

Might be a little while before I get round to sorting him out but watch this space.

Interesting project. Some would say leave as is and let a bit of patina develop rather than shiny shiny. Drew Pritchard would pay a fortune for old and knackered. 

yeah, aren't these old things worth more in original "unrestored" condition ?

Get out your jalopy, and polish the wheels,

She's got to be the smartest of the automobiles,

 

That is so cool 

Lol! Used to love Brum when our kids were little.

Does it have any makers marks on it anywhere?
