Not in touch myself but someone must have that info if he is not viewing this forum himself. I assume they sold Lloyd 400s in Australia. They ended up assembling Alexanders I think.
-
I thought John Meadows is in touch with him, isn't Fred the Zeta man in Oz.

This is Fred Diwell's email address fdiwell@skymesh.com.au He is the editor of the Australian Microcars & Scooters magazine. Jean

surely thats when the forums at its best. helping solve real " unusual microcar " queries . sorry folks who own Isettas, Schmitts , Heinkels et al. but there arent really many things you dont know about your cars. i will follow up those leads .
thanks very much for the help as always folks :)

It is great to help, but I have been told you should be careful about putting undisguised email addresses on a forum in case they get spotted by a "spam bot" which then sends the poor addressee a load of junk advertising emails, so something like: johnsmith at hotmail dot co dot uk will help to throw those horrible spam robots off the scent.

I've just brought over a Lloyd LP 400 from Germany. It came with a nice little handbook which I can translate from German. Would that help you?

Just spotted this: http://cgi.eBay.co.UK/Lloyd-Classic-Car-Very-Rare-Complete-/120678144240?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c18fa58f0#ht_500wt_938
This listing is for a Lloyd LP400s which incidentally is in the UK and remains unsold, so maybe the owner has some beneficial info.

how weird ! have messaged the seller with a couple of questions . dont let that hold anyone from bidding . its VERY rare in this country - i would have said a one off ! until you find the other message from a new member saying he's just imported one . they arent the same car are they Wilksie ? Would of course really appreciate a translated hand book and a look at your car wilksie- where are you . oh and by the way welcome to the site
the auction finishes at 10.30 tonight and its £ 350 !!
-
6 different bidders and it went to £512 . not sure of the condition because the vendor never replied to my questions so i never bid . no photos of floor or dash - wonder if there is one of either ? i have engine, starter , dynamo gearbox spare oh and back lights . wonder if their needed ?
-
It is not the Lloyd on ebay. I think that one was locked in a barn for some time. Hopefully I can get an MOT on mine fairly soon and then write to the DVLA. By the way, can anyone tell me what forms I need for that?
I have looked at the German handbook and operating manual for the Lloyd LP 400. I was a little optimistic saying I'll translate it over the weekend. It's over 88 typed pages. But if you tell me what chapter you need translating, I'll do it as soon as possible.

Where you can order, on line, an Import Pack - Application to register an imported vehicle for use in Great Britain. This should include the forms needed.

well done rob. wilksie maybe i can answer any questions by seing and trying a car . where are you ? i can do you a translated workshop manual if it would help . i assume it would !! cost of copying and postage etc. this is the car i have and its fitted with the 400 engine from new
-
Thank you, Rob, for the useful link. Side indicators and rear seat belts, though, for a 1955 Lloyd - hmmm - might look interesting. Lightweight Dickie, I am in Oxfordshire but I am not Big Al. Happy to meet sometime and compare Lloyds. Yours isn't what I expected.
-
was in oxfordshire last sunday ! but busy. would definitely like to meet up in the spring . having bought my car with no controls ,wiring, dash , cables etc. i would just like to see a Lloyd 400 up and running . would like also to take notes and photos . you still havent said if you need a workshop manual .
WHERE IS BIG AL ??? are the rumours true and are we to be told ? :'(
-
Richard, Don't forget to put your purchase on the Register and let Alastair have a picture as it was when you took delivery! Jean
-
i didn't even bid jean . i contacted the vendor to ask a few questions but didnt get a reply in time . he has since promised to pass my interest on to the buyer so i will inform him of RUM . unless its someone we already know ????????
-
Hi all. First time poster so be nice. :)
I have the full workshop manual set for the Lloyd . It consists of 3 A4 size folders about an inch thick.!
I can't remember if they are in Eng or De though, or which model they are for (400, 600 etc) - if anyone is interested I will have to get them out of storage and have a look.
Regards, John.
-
hi lloyd
i have the workshop manual for 400 translated - acceptably :-\ , in english. i was after a drivers handbook in english but no - one has one. do you have a car to go with it ? your name would hint that you might :)
-
Hi Dickie.
I have a 59 Alexander TS 600 wagon that I'm restoring (eventually).
I've seen a couple of sedans in Oz but I'm yet to see another wagon, so i guess it's pretty rare. Very hard to find info/parts here.
I've looked through some of my stuff and I've got an 'Operation manual' in English. Is that what you're after?
Regards, John.
-
hi john thanks but i dont think theres much in common between the 400 2 stroke and 600 4 stroke so i think i would say no to that . thanks anyway and good luck with it
oops on second reading did you mean that the operation manual is for the 400 in which its surely what i am after
-
Hi.
Nope, sorry - the manual's for a 600 - I wasn't very clear...
All the best, John.
