I remember seeing the article about this bloke in scootering about four years or so. Thought he might of moved some of the machines on since then, seems a shame to have all those lovely scoots just sat around. Still an impressive collection never the less . Does he sell much on?

With so many youngest looking for learner legal scoots it seems a shame to keep them all locked up

you get people like that with parts and lots of scoots they have a garagefull a shed full but there gonna use every last bit in there, and even worse they wanna keep the chrome, it fucks me off in some way as that little part you need can be keeping you off the road and some cunt has loads of them but wont sell you one, is that ok juan ?

Hmmmm, why would anyone need 6 ETS's? One for everyday of the week maybe, with a day off on Sunday . TBH it is a tad annoying when I haven't even got my one and only scooter up and running yet, especially as he doesn't sell anything on to help others . I wouldn't be anywhere near finishing my scoot if it wasn't for the generosity of people on this forum . Cheers lads

Reminds me of a bloke I've met in the lammy scene who had every colour of Italian GP200 in his lock up along with an early SX150 ( with handle type panels and shield horncast badge) and a late SX150 ( with clip panels, plastic tool box and square horncast badge) Why? ? just seemed a bit greedy to me. We all have several machines we all tinker around with, but unless you plan to open your own public museum, it just makes it harder for the rest of us, causes a artificial shortage and bumps the prices up.

Oh yes they will be sold if the right offer comes along. I,ve had SS90,s from him, and recently hes sold a restored 90 Racer , original T5 Pole Position, Lambretta SX150, and T5 millenium and various others. I think theres the odd 1 or 2 that will always stay but theres more to come yet..... ive not taken pics of the ones hanging from the roof !!! or the other projects in the other garage.... !! Hes not a hoarder, and does part with things, and often gives parts away. Always helping others with rebuilts. A few of you guys on here do know him... Great guy and good to know that all the rebuilds are done for pleasure rather than just to sell on.

the blue 50 spesh is used loads and he would never sell . the red ets hes just recently done with a quatrini and will be out and about this year . the red ss belongs to his mate and has just been done with a parma . and will be out and about this year . he does sell stuff from time to time and has fixed plenty of scooters for nothing in the past .i even know hes bought scooters just to use the parts to keep other peoples scooters on the road. i know how you feel when you see scooters stood there not doing owt but theres one or two in there that hes saved from the scrap man and restored . i remember when all he wanted was a ss 90 . then another came up for sale and nearly 20 years later theres a garage full ;D . ROB have you got any pics of the grey 90 you had a look at on the same day

No i didnt manage to get any pics of it, but what a beauty.. Total perfection and man it was loud.... Cant beleive its running a Malossi only... I think theres still a thread on here about it? User name V100 and theres a write up of when he fitted the Hebo hydaraulic clutch. the Quatrini ETS is a nice bit of kit also. Love the glitter paint job on it, looks standard from a distance.

He should definitely consider giving me one of those ETSs.
Maybe he'd swap mine for a minted one?
Cash either way... ;D
