    As above, Bassetts is still in Sheffield behind the dog track in Owlerton. They make Allsorts there!
    The factory in Chesterfield is no longer there, they made amongst other things Trebor mints.
    I used to supply the adhesive for their packaging:D

    The beetle looked like this

    but after realising it was not just new heater channels it required it went to a fabricator for welding last year (is still at the sprayers now). Pictures of the work done are on this site

    The 1974 Honda CD175 I have owned some 23yrs now
    [​IMG]

    The only Honda 400/4 I bought as a running example is this and like the other it is currently in parts
    [​IMG]

    The Honda C50 is sat unused as DVLA wont let me tax it as there is no frame number stamped on it
    [​IMG]

    My brothers Chalys were like this last year, but I lost my interest in working on them as I never saw him come or offer to help do the restoration.
    [​IMG]

    However I got a new heavy duty gazebo in January so work has restarted
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    and last but not least is the silver bullet. The 1995 1.0litre Micra that is surprisingly reliable and not a bad £250 investment 12 months ago. Still only got 52,000 mile on the clock LOL

    With my friend (yes I have one) having his own breakers yard I acquired a spare engine that has only done 20k along with the suspension parts just in case my driving it like I stole attitude results in an engine blow up or broken spring.
