82 Air Cooled - Max

[taz24v]

Named Max by my 7yr old son Sam.. From want i've worked out it was involved in an rtc years ago as there is a botched repair to the nearside front. It came off the road in 93 & has been dry stored while passing through a few owners who never got around to completing the work. Its amazingly solid & original, the engine runs sweet but has a major oil leak & i think the gearbox is stuffed. Plan to have him back on the road next spring.

Collected by last owner




now in safe hands with us
