Yeah, I like that too. Loads of character, way better than just another restored one.

Thanks for the positive comments guys. Originality is something that can't be manufactured, the imperfections and patina are life's customiser! Sorry about the catalogue pose in the picture! I'll get round to posting some better ones!,

guy you bought it from , name of craig by any chance , think i recognise that scoot , looks nice . got the wifes ets in for a engine re-fresh an underseal at the moment , an make a lower seat for it ,she's a short arse . i can honestly say the ets is the only totally stock engine scoot ive had ,it was mine til consficated by management . bought local an i couldnt get to my bank ,so mrs provided a "loan" , after 4 days i get told "i like it ,i paid for it ,an youve too many scoots ,its MINE!!!" . anyway i digress ,only stock motor ive never even considered messing with , its great just the way it is ,perfect for her to bob around town on .its kept as her "reserve" scoot in case her cosa ever miss behaves ,which it doesnt coz its a cosa ,so i get occasional blasts on it just to keep fuel from going stale .

Well spotted H, yeah I bought it from Craig in Dudley. He knows his stuff with small frames and he's told me that he's currently working on another project, which is a rare model, only ever available for the German market,.. can't remember the exact model! Although he did mention that it has a Rally style rear light!

Sounds like a 50 SR to me. Primmy headset, 50 Special horncover, Rally rear light and a big fin barrel same as HP3/4 or FL as standard.

Might be a daft question! But is anyone aware of a period fly-screen to fit the ETS?? Or would an 80's 'Driver' screen fit? Any ideas, thoughts, input?

I have interest in buying an ETS that my mum has owned for a while. It is currently red, lacking in stickers and badges, and has a 130 kit on it. This would be my new scooter as I turn 17 next year and am looking for something a bit more reliable than my current PK50 (ish). I would like some help as to whether it is worth buying looking for and buying the original 5 port barrel and piston to put back on? Also I would like to spray it ETS blue and was wondering what colour is the closest so that I can buy it and spray myself. The stickers for the sidepanels are also something that I would like to buy. Where would I be able to get these? Are they for sale anywhere or would I have to get them made up by a printing company? Thanks in advance, Matt. There is a bloke on the Facebook Ets page that has remade the Ets badge, not to sure about decals. Love my ETS, mine was resprayed blue in the 80s, think it looks good but would love an original red one.
