Is it just me or does £1400 seem rather a lot for a 70s moped that needs restoration, has a broken crankcase unknown issues with the kickstart side and is in Holland ?  |

I'm with you Old's, don't sound like a very good investment even if you only wanted it for oneself and not to make money on

we had an apprentice who had one, he had to pedal like crazy to get out of the dockyard gate. I nicknamed him Frantic, even to day he is still known as frantic.

A guy round our way had one of those, he thought he looked the mutts n*ts. We didn't have the heart to tell him, at 6' 3" and as skinny as a bean pole it he looked rather foolish on a Fantic.
