:)My son has decided to move on his "L"reg. Mimosa 44.It is in need of some work, namely some bodywork and re-spray.It is at present dry stored in my neighbours barn.I will try to remember all the work done 3 years ago prior to MOT and road funding it.It was used by my son for about 12 months,prior to his "globe trotting" on his Honda 90.Since then he has used the 33 Pick-up and both he and I haven't the time or inclination to put the 44 back on the road.We are looking for a nominal sum of £100[towards his next travel plans].Work done and parts fitted[from memory].Speedo reading 12,600 genuine miles.4 new tyres,all new brake lines,flexible hoses,wheel cylinders and shoes plus a secondhand master cylinder from Danny in Holland.New clutch segments,exhaust system[don't know what it's like now],new belts,all new ingition parts,some welding,tow bar,wiper blades,battery and second hand prop shaft[my son tried to drag his hovercraft and trailer from the river and burnt out the rubber inserts]. All the bumpers and stainless trim is good.A few months ago we removed the engine because of low compression and fitted new rings to one cylinder,now runs properly.The interior is good.
Work needed[as far as I can see]Complete re-spray,the front wings need re-shaping,the previous owner had it tucked in a tight corner of his shed and used to brush past it regularly,denting both sides.The primary and secondary units need their discs cleaning and re-polishing.The headlamp units will need replacing.The starter motor needs attention[6volt],my son had a seperate 12v battery which he wired in to operate the starter and when I tried to fire it up recently,it wouldn't turn the engine.I can go round and take some pics if anyone is interested and e-mail them.we will see if we can workout how to post some on here. starider.
