They made lots of them, some stylish, a lot complete lash-ups. Same kind of stuff was going on elsewhere in the Eastern bloc - and indeed in immediate post-war Germany and Austria. The most bonkers one I've heard of was this, made from two 125 motorbikes welded together with a home-made body up top - at some stage in the 60s it even had a facelift to give it quad headlights. Power came from ... both engines. bunglebus, D.E, martc and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeConcern Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 @Jason_Robb & @supermellowman thanks, it's been driving me mad looking at every RR I see trying to work out what it is haha. I wonder if it's available separately from the fob? I should stick it outside in a prominant place in case the owner walks past again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.E Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I spotted this years ago, had a Fiat badge on the steering wheel and is probably from one of the countless Italian coachbuilders of the 50s, but which one exactly? sdkrc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
