Vantman Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Would this Velosolex be worth buying to renovate and sell on? All the seller knows is it's late 60s,it doesn't run and needs new tyres and tubes. Any idea what it would be worth 'as is' please? Faker 1
UltraWomble Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Please will somebody buy the Dismally off me?

Parts are easily available but registering can be a pain in the arse and costs 55 quid Vantman 1

Parts are easily available but registering can be a pain in the arse and costs 55 quid Thanks for the information,he did mention £150 so it might be worth a go. The seller goes to France every week so getting spares shouldn't be a problem.

Parts are easily available but registering can be a pain in the arse and costs 55 quidI've been following these for some time as I would like one as a run about and to tinker with. I'd agree with the above and add that I think this will need an MOT. Late 60s would make it a 3800 most likely. There's an Antique Moped Owners club (can't remember their proper name) of some sort which has lots of info.

There's an Antique Moped Owners club (can't remember their proper name) of some sort which has lots of info.The one thing to think about before buying a Solex is they are totally shit, unless it is on the flat and you are under 10 stone. It was a big ask from mine to drag my fat 17 stone arse around our yard that is flat and level. Buy a vespino instead a much better bike that can pull me along at more than walking pace without using the pedals. I happen to know where there is a very nice project one for sale ! strangeangel 1

matty879 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 its a bad pic,but the only one I have of how it looked when bought,better ones on tomorrowdragged it out today,it fired up,not seen it for 6 months,it just sat under a sheet getting soggy.the little mower tank sticking out is just temp,until I paint my new tank,the tank on it has a pin hole in it.

Fat_Pirate Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 My VFR failed it's MOT on the rear exhaust downpipes leaking, I've had to MASSIVELY disassemble it to get access to the poxy things. Rear wheel bearings need doing too, that looks fun*. Check out my state-of-the-art VHS player there, great for viewing those educational Fiona Cooper videos in privacy. Faker 1
matty879 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I vaguely remember doing an early vfr when it was my job,if only we all had tiny Japanese hands,it was a right arse,studs snapping everywhere.
