I'd be interested to know where it is now - decent conversion by the look but I can't help but think that it's been broken...?

Jesus Harold Christ, that's a digusting monstrosity
That bonnet...
That guy with the DW thread used to have a matt black FC 'vert on banded steelies that he was alleged to be a Doriftuu Kinguu in. Seemed a nice enough lad, if a bit.... errr. Full of it? I might revise my opinion downwards now I've seen that bonnet on that poor FB

The only spots that I've got were in 2008. It's been unlicensed since 2009 on DVLA every time I've looked so I guess it might well be a breaker.RamoNZ wrote:I'd be interested to know where it is now - decent conversion by the look but I can't help but think that it's been broken...?

Lets hope my brain never has to look at that massive lump sitting there again......It must have squashed the front suspension flat before it ever started moving.
I think that to maintain the original handling and cornering balance the only piston conversion light enough would have to be a Lambretta scooter engine...

Good spot there. You can go for years and not see one unless you go to a meet.
It's actually EJA Ben.
(It's on this Forum, maybe the present owner will say 'hi'. I'll note that you owned it once upon a time).
