Its not a Norsjo. Its built under licence and has a Puch engine. In many ways it differs. So it is its own thing, as a Vellem Isetta is to a BMW Isetta. No idea if that is why it has a high looking value. To rich for me, anyway. But I have had one, so less motivation.
Actually it looks extraordinarily similar to 'my' car. Same horrible colour and all. 'My' version is probably unique as it looks like the only British specification one, has its correct V5C and was a demonstrator. That marks it as at least unusual. Unlike half the Sachs Autos, the engine works perfectly, as it has not been owned by a gymboid at sometime, and it has that all important reverse. I actually describe things accurately, unlike some, so, yes, it might sound worse than it is. Two people agreed with my valuation and one of them now owns it after the other thought better given his circumstances, a choice I cannot but agree with, sadly.
I think time will tell that those who missed this car will kick themselves in just the same way as they did when Type 70's were a few hundred quid. Root is besieged with folk, including previously IC haters, now attempting to buy in at £500. To late.
Mind you uplift is not the only reason for buying. Like the Type 70 the Norsjo stands out from its class competition, in my opinion, as it is actually fun to drive and well made, out performing the opposition. Sadly a Norsja does not fit into my new collection, where is a Type 70 possibly does. You cannot keep everything.
