Villiers 3T
« on: April 11, 2013, 10:18:58 PM »
It has been a long process having sent our 3T to Villiers Services last summer to be totally rebuilt.  Having it returned to use last November it is now back in its mounts and running. To start the motor and hear it run after 30+ years of sitting idle makes a person smile. We hope to have our Frisky back on the road in a few weeks. :)

Please give details of all efforts and costs involved to do this most efficiently, as my Sport may need same, and I live in the Los Angeles area.

With the complete refurbish of motor, clutch, transmission and carb with parts and labor was almost 1100 pounds.  Then you add on the First Class seating on DHL! In the long run it was well worth the cost.

Around $550 each way on DHL.
