Will get some more details on soon.

A big thanks to the man who posted the Ro80 from gumtree on here, would never have seen it otherwise.

The monster trailer took me by suprise, the hire shop have a new fleet, I was only the second person to use it.

Barwell trailer hire come highly recomended.

Bloody hell!!!! Where have I seen that NSU, eBay? And that 5 is ooh la la! That's a lot of shite to pack into one day.

 

Edit: I see now, Gumtree

RO80 looks laavly in that period orange. I hadn't really noticed before, but the the NSU hubcaps look a bit like the designers were fond of of Fuchs alloys.

They are alloys, they have the same stud pattern as Porsches of the same period but are 14" rather than the Porsche 15".

 

I've a feeling that they are made by Fuch too.

Last job a Batavus HS50 by any chance? 

 

Heroic shite-ing by the way

Posted

R5 and Ro80 both have single numeral and L suffix!

 

What are the chances after 43 years?

 

Does the R5 have the dash-mounted gear handle like an R4? It is early enough if the L plate is original.

 

I have Ro80 manual and parts book. If I can scan you anything......

I'm speechless.  So glad that Ro80 is in the family, and the R5 is ace as well.

 

Need more info NOW.

Good grief. This thread needs a health warning.

It looks like it does. MEGA RARE!

Never knew that. Every day's a school day.

I'm in love with that Ro80. The tow car's pretty awesome, too :-D

Thanks for the positive words...

The 5 is thought to be the oldest RHD in existance and yes it does have the gears through the dash like a 4. Its totally original, just how I like them, but needs some resto, one day.

The bike you can see is a Dutch RAP, bought back in the early days of ebay when such things could be had for a hundred or two.

My Multiplas orange as well, will have a add a pick of that!

Good Lord, you have just won not just Autoshite but the internetz as well.

 

A Renner 5, Ro80 and a Multipla all in Orange?   With an Avantime tow car?   Is there some kind of Rusty Steel Cross for services to shite we can award?
