Frisky body shell. hard top family 3 maybe
« on: March 06, 2011, 08:55:14 PM »
I found a complete Frisky body while collecting a moped for my son.  It is laying outside behind a car dealers, near Basildon. It looks complete.  It has a couple of cracks in it near the rear number plate.  It is still bear resin finish, never been painted or used.  I am sure it would be very useful if someone needs it.

If anyone is interested drop me an email and I will try to get a price out of the chap and get you connected.  rich@cloudbase.biz

I just heard from this guy.  He has sold the body Shell to a guy who is planning to make a mould from it.  If any one is interested I will ask for contact details from him.

Sounds like it might time to bang my Frisky out then. More fakery and strangeness yet there are loads of real Friskys that want restoration back to what they should be. Hey ho.

Very interesting.  I am sure we all would be keen to hear more especially Mr Meadows.  Sounds like it could be the same chap that I heard about at the National who was planning to turn out Nobel, Scootacar and Tourette body shells.  Don't expect there will be big demand for any of these.  Andy Carter's pension scheme should be safe then  ;)

 The amount of old-stock/separated genuine Frisky bodyshells there are around, I'd have thought a better business plan would be remaking a few chassis's & mechanics for them...

Not f'in Tourettes, please. Ffnar biscuit!

What was it, 27 shells behind the old premises near Margate? Yep it is the chassis that wants making not the body. Much of the Frisky is them reasonably findable, but which model? Scootacar is a bit more difficult. The problem is as the degree of difficulty raises the chances of rather nasty replicas appearing getting stronger. Thinking Tri Tech and the ability of them to fall apart in public or rolling gaining the interest of police. My interest is selfish. A host of ill formed replicas splatting themselves round the place raising attention countrywide could lead to the banning of microcars from the road by the expedient of a clumsy law. The Bamby P50 has passed tests so that is acceptable and it has to stand on its merits backed by proper business rules. Home built stuff does not and the owner of an older ID can happily build a death trap without any real backing and more than likely dodgy insurance since the contract will contain contestable information. For instance is a new Scootacar shell with wrong bits in it a Scootacar even if it does have an ID? Specifically the insurer always asks if the vehicle is modified. Most old cars are but who list those mods? Iffy time. The bigger the claim the more they will wriggle.

Oh! You mean the shell I was looking at yesterday! Talk about Chinese whispers! This whole thread has been based on absolute tosh! I know the guy who bought it and there are no plans to take a mould from it. He just wanted a shell which he now has!
