Could I look at his buggy it is a partial rebuild by a firm in Accrington but he has moved to Evesham with the buggy and would like to get it on the road. Built nby Dave 50 years ago with a new Powerbug shell it has now been resprayed the original colour.
Happy to help been down and it now runs but the clutch pedal does nothing as the standard wing nut has been replaced with a hex nut which has pulled into the arm hole and jammed. New nut will be ordered .
Will have to get it sorted so it can go to Spain fir 3 months over winter.

Looks tidy with plenty of personality and a slightly unusual colour.

That's a nice easy fix for a clutch issue. Wipers, mirrors and passenger seat look pertinent requirements now.

Nice looking buggy.
Moving to Evesham if you own a buggy is what they call in the North East of England a canny idea.  Although I'm sure the proximity to a Taylor Towers wasn't the only consideration.

Got the clutch working today but only 3 gears no 3rd or top so lever out and reverse lick out plate the wrong way down so it has now driven to prove all gears work. Dave now has the motivation to crack on and get it on the road.
Collecting a roll hoop tuesday, the 627/3 paperwork form is ready to be filled in to put the 1971 reg on it as the original 58 pan was scrapped.

Good news and good to see it going around on the grass but it looks a bit like it's been in a street fight with the missing head light.

Lots of small jobs to do to get it ready for an MOT and Dave is cracking on with getting it ready,  After a phone call Tuesday looks like a Kingfisher Kustoms day to pick up a new roll hoop as they have just had a batch made.
