Yoss Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 18 hours ago, doug said: £900. devon. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1395522470670352/?multi_permalinks=2789870171235568¬if_id=1612692910629594¬if_t=group_activity&ref=notif Hope this link works. Well that puts that Rebel above into perspective doesn't it? I thought it was massively overpriced but thought maybe, like everything else, they'd gone up massively in price (not value, there's a difference). Makes this look a bargain, great colour too. Edit: Though the link only takes me to a Kitten FB page and I obviously can't go any further. Then the MOT history page says it hasn't its first Mot so it remains an enigma.

I originally searched on "Qingqi" which gave me the manufactures story, and I assumed SINNIS was a global (non Chinese) brand name. I’ve now found the SINNIS site, but I find their strap-line “Riding from reality” a bit ambiguous. 😕 You can still buy a Sinnis Matrix scooter which was also sold as the Peugeot Sum Up. Probably almost extinct now but here's one: https://www.gumtree.com/p/peugeot-motorbikes/peugeot-sum-up-125-2008-124-cc-/1396282719 Quite a nice ride actually, comedy transmission whine on the overrun and rev counter as standard for no real reason. Kick start, handily. I had one a decade ago and sold it to a bloke from Poland for less than this one in St Albans is advertised at. Build quality seemed okay, though the exhaust rusted quickly despite always being garaged, and most of the screws holding the plastic panels together fell out.

Shite Ron Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I had one of these, the same year and colours but mine was a 1700 and I don’t think the seats were such nice cloth. Mine was also low mileage, it was around 8 years old and I paid £50, I still struggled to make any profit on it! They look much better now 30 years have passed, I’m still not tempted though but would love to see someone else rescue it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Austin-ambassador-2ltr-auto/203272948760?hash=item2f54030c18:g:T~4AAOSw691gIVJk RobT, Mr Laurence, Tenmil Socket and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I used to be absolutely mad keen on those Ambassadors. Now I hate them!!! Miserable interiors, asthmatic thrashy engines and a crap gearbox. Still like the wedge shape though and I would like to drive one with regassed spheres and new tyres, I reckon it would be a whole 'new sensation' in ride quality ProgRocker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
