Enough of these Busa's and Blades.


More power than a speeding pullet.

Wow

Is that in a Reliant 3 wheeler?

I went in one once and it was a god-awful thing of transport.

Bond Minicar?

Whatever it is the front end grip must be light at best!

Bond Minicar, after its second upgrade to the mighty Villiers 247cc Twin.....

They were little more than scrap in the late 60's and could be had for next to pocket money, the engines were used in go karts, I remember building one at lunchtimes in the school metalwork shop....

Great engines, so easy to tune. Used to race a Greeves 2T, back in the 60's. Ah, the smell of Castrol R.

It is indeed a Bond.

Couldn't get a pic of the whole car as it's in one of those tiny pre-fab concrete council garages.

Apparently they used to use Ford paint so that colour may be better known on an Anglia.
I think it's called "winter drip." (sniff)

They must have been one of the few cars you had to kick start.
The metalwork teacher at our school had a 197 cc version in gold colour, or was it brown?
