Hello Froggy: Why would you want to modify it with a "bike" engine?  The 500 S/P is a great bullet proof engine.  What do you think it will bring?  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120223474045&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:uk

i have a bike engined reliant kitten and liked the idea of a v twin in the back of an invacar , price wise im after £900 for it which is what it cost me and ive re built the brakes all round

 But there's no need to bung a bike engine in a Model 70. Go out and get a Model 67 and you have the same basic shell with a bike engine already in it...........!

I don't think logic will work here Stuart, its the age old clash of two different ethoses , the Rumcar charter which is to preserve microcars as close to original as possible verses the custom car/hotrod mentality where the vehicle is just viewed as raw material in the hands of the "artist"! To Froggy's credit he hasn't done it, only has the urge to do it and feels the need to get it into a safer pair of hands before his desire gives birth to sin. I on the other hand am a complete hypocrite for planning to convert my schmitt to hydraulic brakes!

Bobbybubble, it's your car...do what you want! Any later owner can always put back to opriginal, and with hydraulic brakes it is more likely to survive! I added (removable) extra brake lights and indicators to the back of my Trojan.

and with hydraulic brakes it is more likely to survive!

The purpose behind it is so to increase the chance of MY surviving! I will only do it if it can be done with no chopping about and can be put back without a trace. What no gigs today Marcus? or is it tonight? I played in a Shadows tribute band for some years until the premadona drummer left in a sulk then it fizzled out, fun while it lasted though! Fancy a job? You couldnt wear the fez though.

Ok, the suspiction was right And now I have 2 AC Invacars in my small collection, 1 Reselco, 3 Reliant's (1957, 1969, 1974) plus som other monstrous 4-wheelers       Oooops, I almost forgot to tell you about my 7 Kalmar Tjorven's too (Thats 1/4 of the total amount remaining of this rare Swedish Delivery Van), I have some images out on the web to look at: http://sv.netlog.com/Aristocars - Sorry the texts is only in the strange Viking language called Swedish, but click on a picture and you can look on all my cars, well some of them at least...    Frozen regards (Aah it's snowing here now) from / S.P.Z.
