I used to go there to get parts for my 3 1/2 Sport. They are still in business as Lusso Veloce. I wonder if they still have any Morini parts left, especially a cam belt.

Lusso Veloce - Specialist and collectible vehicles

 

PS Despite the modern looking frame and plastics, the Dart has the old Sport 344cc engine under that plastic. They put out almost 40bhp, so you'll struggle to loose your licence on it.

I'd love that, if I could fit in it, had £500 to throw away and had storage. But apart from that I'm in! A Google suggests Hemmington built at least one other special. ULEZ beater.

@eddyramrodmobile; almost perfect spec, pez, spanish with overdrive.

Downsides; there must be about half a ton of wob in this thing, the arches are truly a work of art.

It's even a JAG!  Right engine, wrong box (but I expect that); not a plain van but not many of those have survived; Listing Not Available so I guess someone snapped it up.

I used to use North Leicester for parts, when WeeVee (Benjy Straws place) in Croydon did not have them for my modified 1974 3½ Strada. Had matching engine and frame numbers, but everything else had been changed. Benjy knew the bike's history, which was strange.

I sold it after I left in my garage for 12 years, as I got fed up chasing the cause(s) of its persistant misfire. Bloke who bought it was going to do a full restoration, in my eyes pointlessly expensive. It was never taxed or MOT'd again.
