The same seller is selling a Flipper as well.

Now this one is interesting!  Has anyone else noticed that this pink & white one has a smooth door? And also that it has no wing mirror or windscreen wiper and not even the holes for them?  I think we might be looking at a "Basic-Model" Mini-Comtesse Type 73 rather than the much more common "De Luxe" Type 730E such as mine & Ferdi's....   :o  The pink & white one, if I'm right, will also not have stabilser wheels nor electric starter. You have to pull a bit of string like on your lawnmower....   :D

 Just when you thought the Mini-Comtesse couldn't be any more basic, along comes this.  ;D  It actully rather appeals to me....   :-*

Hi Stuart

Like the basic model.

Where did you spot it?

What does yours need doing for the M.O.T.

On the Harding Rideinease, I was only the highest bid for about 12 hours, and one more bid would've done it.  My highest was 180.  Sorry (sic).

I have just put a cardboard box on an old skateboard.

It is even more basic than this Acoma, bot the steering and stability is better.

HA HA !!!!!!
