When this picture was taken the car Belonged to a guy from east London called Dave , strangely enough he had tried a 125 piaggio in it but the vibration was unbearable, a Honda 125 had been tried in my Bamby before I owned it with the same results, intolerable vibration. By this time Dave had given up with scooter engines and had converted it to electric power and I have to say that it suited it quite well, we all had a hum around the field in it at the Loxwood bond rally. He later sold it on and bought a Motorumi scooter [fabulous machines!].
