Title: Scooter Blog
Post by: Chris Thomas on January 29, 2009, 08:54:12 pm

Dear Friends

I came upon this web site which is the Blog of Philippe Devant who I met at the French National Bubblecar and Scooter Rally in 2008 when he was driving his immaculate blue Messerschmitt KR200.

Having looked at his blog there are some very interesting scooters that he has recorded and a few Microcars. Well worth a look. However those of you who read French will get more from the site.

There are about 28 long pages of blog and pictures.

Dear Bob

Thanks for doing that.

I wish he had put more notes with each photograoh and fewer images of his holidays.

A couple of Piatti's came up in 2008, although one was a total basket case it still sold for around £1200,  :-\

Dear Phillipe

Good to see that you are a member of the Rumcar Forum

The Bastert Einspurauto scooter you are looking for was never sold in the UK and unless a collector has brought one into the UK you are unlikely to find one here. The Velocette is also very rare and you will be lucky to find one. The DKR is perhaps the scooter you may find for sale first.

Happy hunting

Chris Thomas
