    It’s got the wrong engine, should be a Villiers ! There is a Colwood register run by Steve Deness and he has loads of information on them.

    I finished cleaning out the fuel system today and she runs! Now all I need is to get the other one running, it has fuel and a spark. It fires but won’t pick up….

    I reckon yours is post October 1963 (clutch pin is fitted from then) and before 15/06/1965, I’ve got one from that date with M 54343. Easy to find the exact dat by looking at the engine no. mine is 80302-0154-03-6506153 the bold bit is the date and the 3 is the production line. it looks in great condition….

    Just need to clean out the fuel system now, due to the fuel having gone off. I’ve fitted new clutch and throttle cables. Took it to Brinkworth show on Sunday and put it in with the rest of my machines….
    First picture is rear view, second one shows my two Professional models, far one came with reverse gear and is later than the one I just got!

    An original Robin engine, a centrifugal clutch, a hand book for starters! How do I know about this? I met him and the Bug down Honiton Hill Rally. Luckily John Phillips turned up and he used to have one!

    I’ve taken some photo’s….
    Wheels are non-standard solid tyres (Avon Ranger)probably from a garden truck, it has no clutch pin, this puts the age pre-October 1963. The exhaust is angled and it will start as soon as I sort out the aged petrol which is decidedly “off”

    Aha! I have one with wooden rollers and one with the ally rollers, I’ll scan the other parts book. I may be able to help with which came first as well…
