Here's my new little toy, just a run about while I strip and restore the Tudor and to put less miles on the Battleship. plan is to completely restore this once the Tudor is done and maybe get a Triumph triple engine in him, once the current one dies

That is a Tudor!  And I think in good original condition based on your photos.

No, that is a Trabant 601 Special, this is the Tudor

Er "tudor" is also an USianised misspelling (or mispronunciation) of "two door".

I live the mph-kph cheat sheet sticker in the Tudor

 

and the little leather and stainless steel buckles for holding the bonnet down are exactly what my buddy needs to do to his mk2 focus (he has twice been invited into the NCT centre inspection area (normally off limits to owners) to open the bonnet for them... as the release is knackered.. just cant decide on what he wants to buy instead of it.)

 

i love its pure simplicty - a seat to sit on, some pedals abd wheel to make it go where you want, and a window winder if it gets too hot.
