Description
Description Older restoration in good order throughout; later 1,275cc engine; fast road cam, high lift rockers and rolling road tune showing 83bhp; chrome wire wheels; round arches; a sporty little Midget that is ready to enjoy

From 2000 to 2021 it was owned by a Mr Reynolds of Pontypool who seems to have used it very lightly, old MOTs ...
