    Had this for about 8 years but done nothing with it. It’s been under a tarp in the garden, hidden (forgotten) behind some bushes.

    It has a great back story having been built by a post WW2 test pilot who built it for his daughter to ride round the garden.

    My plan is to get it back into useable condition and give it back to her for her grandchildren.

    This is going to a slow burner but it’s finally made it onto the bench in the shed.

    First thing is a good douse with spray penetrant.

    The motor is a French Mobylette unit and there is an old Matchless badge on the handlebars. Other than that it’s a mystery.

    Unlike the pickup, this is indoors so weather shouldn’t be an issue.
