Yes, Boris’ announcement has indeed scuppered my plans somewhat. As a freelancer that has dabbled with bikes over the years the collection could be considered work. Have spoken with the seller and we’ll decide on Friday. Apparently he’s got another porteur stashed that’s a bit earlier, can get details if you’re interested @Lolo?
Yes it’s a coaster at the back. Assuming everything is saveable plan is just to go a part or two at a time and polish every nut and bolt. I’m lucky enough to have a pretty well equipped workshop at my disposal so will hopefully be relatively painless. Not looking to re-chrome anything but I’ll probably get the drum shoes relined at Villers. They’ve done obscure motorbike brakes for my pa in the past.
Anyone care to guess the age? I’m guessing 70s from the parts mix and decals.
Couple more pics.
