Title: Find of the month...
Post by: piatti on August 16, 2012, 09:35:51 am
After weeks of negotiation, I finally received a parcel yesterday.
Any suggestions what it is ?

A Trident dome?

If the envelope is meant to be a clue, let's have a wild guess: How about an old new stock ILO engine for your Fuldamobil S1? Although I was under the impression that the ILO works were located in Pinneberg, Northern Germany.

No, it's not a dome!

It is a "NOS" 3-Speed ILO Engine with every paperwork you can imagine...
It is just amazing.

An educated guess then: A 50cc ILO engine for your Brutsch Mopetta. How did you come across it?

As I have written quite a few blog posts concerning the brutsch mopetta, I got eMails from time to time. Most people ask where to buy a mopetta - usually a pretty difficult question but RM Auctions might help...
A couple of weeks ago, I received some pics of this engine and the paperwork. I think I have found about 6 or 7 ILO 3-speed engines over the past years, but I have never seen such a collection of related documents, no did I know that so many exist. I made a realistic offer and bought it.
