No sign of any jump point under any foot well, either. A mate of a mate is a Merc specialist so going to get him out to it this week as he can get it, apparently. So, in other news after a few days of waiting, this arrived in my possession today. Collection was the complex matter of literally walking 15 yards to get it. Happy to report it eclipses EVERYTHING else purchased in the dire interior stakes thus far. Ladies and genitalmen, one proudly announces the arrival of 'Desire'. Keeping the wheel trims as have owned them for years (gave them to the owner of this when he first got it) and the battery will be swapped for a shit one. @HMC your next purchase? You like a proper tatty Berlingo! Cavcraft and HMC 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Cavcraft 102105 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Last year, when I took my Scomadi for an MOT I ended up buying a 750/4 chopper. This year, when I took my Scomadi for an MOT I bought that little 50cc scooter (further up) and, erm, another Scomadi... If I'd had the choice at the time, my 200 would have been 'Atomic orange', it's defo the best colour they came in. This one is a 125 with a few extras (some of which might mysteriously find their way onto the 200) including an aftermarket exhaust, which won't fit the other one. The 'Adidas' decals will come off, but I've got some spare (plain) side panels in this colour in my garage somewhere. All of the TL models (50/125/200) had the same panels, so I suppose I could convert my other one from metallic grey to orange, but CBA.

jonathan_dyane 1516 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I drove one once, guy in Rainhill was selling on ebay and I took it for a test drive. Although it had a misfire it was great to drive and pulled very well, knocking on 80mph on the m62 no bother. Sold for more money than I had at the time alas.
