I've had a lot of fun over the years with older mopeds - currently a 1952 Trojan and a 1957 Brown - but living in the Clee Hills and getting older means I now need something a bit more competent.
Twenty years ago I had a Mobylette 40V - it went well but didn't seem quirky enough at the time, so I sold it. With hindsight I should have stored it as boxes of parts in the loft...

Why? Lots of the bikes got dumped/no longer used as rules changed and bikes had to have personal registration plates to be road legal.
Then lots of issues with bikes being impounded by the police if the bikes were modified and didn't have the right paperwork.
Looking at the prices now I couldn't justify that expense.
