Bump!! £15 takes this!

I dunno how true this is, but I heard that leaner doesn’t necessarily mean less NOx. A richer burn means the unburnt fuel forms droplets or something.

Anyway, have a picture of the Vespa I rebuilt during lockdown

True, that one with the grill does look very 100e!

According to the Morris/Austin ado16 wiki page it says thus..

During the Worboys Committee in the 1960s when the British road signage system was being redesigned, the silhouette of the ADO16 (since it was the UK's best selling car of the time) was used in many of the new road sign designs which are all still in use.

Curiouser and curiouser

Sad times. ULEZ forced my hand too- had to sell my lovely Saab 900

Is that the era still based on the 850 shape? Is it Ulez compliant?

I like a Volvo but I have the sensible lined up already, thanks!

Indeed!

Thinking about this now, I think the motorbike might be a Police spec Velocette

Crazy money and all that, but jeez the 4 speed low with guards would be my perfect ride. Of course I’d immediately load up the front bag with soup for lunch, pastries, laptop, keys, phone, taking the weight to more like 16kg. For that reason (and no money) I’m oot!!

Yeah but acting within the rules and acceptable behaviour are two different things ;)

Now sold, thanks @cagimaha!

Nice! Lemme know if you need more details

Soz it’s being collected tonight

I chatted to some gardeners who were working there- they had been told to take all the benches etc away and they didn’t sound optimistic about it coming back at all.

Wasn’t it originally in protest to not getting planning permission? Maybe he finally got it?

It is indeed Decathlon in Surrey Quays. God knows what tent or inflatable canoe I was lusting after that day.

I do know that someone was all “bloody hell mate that’s gorgeous” which ignited enough pride in me to take those photos

I don’t remember the car park smelling of anything other than VALUE

Can comfirm a Brompton fits nicely in the back

Gonna risk putting this on here even though the last car thread didnt go very well. This is, however, only for sale here! Only for sale as a little one on the way means I need to be all sensible.

This was the next design from Issigonis after the mini, and is basically a scaled-up version without the price tag. Once Britain's best selling car, there aren't many at all now though their silhouette still appears on road signs to this day. This is a very useable car with such wonders as wipers, indiactors, a heater, nice light steering, plenty of visibility and a doddle to park. They also have a great ride quality thanks to hydroelastic suspension.

1966 Morris 1100

1275 Engine with higher diff gearing meaning it can go on motorways happily as well as being great for bombing around town.
Halogen headlights
LED interior and dash lights
Plenty of patina, but crucially very solid!
Current MOT with one advisory for a CV boot.
MOT exempt, ULEZ exempt and tax exempt, with insurance costing about £90 a year.
Everything works and is just generally brilliant to bomb around in.

I'm after £2700

Viewing in SE5 if you're interested!

A great grinder for the price- I’ve been gifted a ridiculously fancy one so this is no longer needed.

£20 collected from E10 thanks

That’s ace! I wonder if it could live on in another form somewhere like this https://novelty-automation.com/

Hey @amey I'm after a cargo bike for an incoming youngun, could you fire me some pics when you get a chance?

I didn’t know these had indicators

Now sold, thanks!

An old and scruffy DSLR that still works fine!

Plenty of scratches on the body, power switch is stuck in the “on” position. Luckily it turns off and on automatically so no great shakes..

Comes with the 18-55 kit lens, a 1Gb CF card and charger.

£35 collected from Leyton E10.

Cheers

I’ve owned both and prefer the S setup by a factor of 3 million. Makes it feel speedy when you want it to but still comfy and practical. For me the S is the do- everything bike.

@apollo is looking for Ti stuff!

Norse Projects Parka is sold.

Happy to post these items by the way!
