That's identical to the brand new one that I more or less fell in love with when I was about seventeen.

They're not very good as standard DJ, but can be very entertaining with the addition of all the right bits.

But that gets costly quickly, plus then they wear the gearbox bearings out every 3k miles or so.

Here's mine...

Been a couple of years now Jim and that was only very briefly.

There's a short-list of niggly jobs that need doing to get her road-ready, that I can't do with my back in it's present condition and with my current absence of funds.

Hence the lack of use.

I've had mine 15 years now.

Tends to get used as a cupboard rather than transport though

Yep, I am aware of a few of their foibles and what works well on them - my cousin had one for 9 year or so. Got rid due to reliability issues, driveway neglect and then rot. It was sold and is being reshelled at the moment though.

I loved it though. Went well when it worked.
