Methinks a great choice and a in pretty good condition for (light?) restoration from the looks of it (given your other remarkable efforts).
One question, in the youtube videos it shows the cabless versions with the fuel tank in the traditional motorbike position, but that one does not have that, where is the fuel tank? (Outside the cab I guess)

What fun Simon you will have in this? And will the wine made from the grapes it has transported taste better?

Thanks gents
Not planning any restoration, just make sure it works properly ! The tank is being cleaned ready for new fuel. It fits in the traditional motorbike position.
Currently in winterised form - apparently the cab just lifts off ......
And it is narrow enough to get through the vines - not quite sure what they will make of in the village. I should be going to collect her from Toulouse in a couple of weeks, a trailer is in order because the top speed is about 30mph

It will feel really at home if you can find a space for the variety of grape found in the Como area. You'll have to ask your expert which one to plant.

In terms of developing the fleet - happy with the Velosolex or on the hunt for one of these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcXjV1gdVsELots of different frames but its the four stroke engine with its two speed gearbox that's the vital part here. Back when I had a Villiers engine Rudge autocycle that was my "trade-up pin-up". A Cucciolo remains on my "maybe one day" list. David |

Excellent purchase Simon, it looks fantastic. I saw one of these for sale in Italy last year and thought it looked interesting in an agricultural sort of way, much like a Porsche or Lamborghini tractor. Just what one needs for doing little jobs around one's estate!
