126 Bis - barn find

[Amateb8]

This one looks in very good condition! 99p starting price. The seller is searching for the documentation of the car which he says will back the low mileage. If the papers are found, I might have a go at this one.

I know why!!!! You read the bit:-

'PEOPLE STICK MOTORBIKE ENGINES IN THESE FOR LITTLE TRACK TOYS '

There is a bit of that. Unfortunately, it is only the watercooled version that one can do motorbike engine and other related conversions. This is one of many watercooled 126s that I have seen through the years being experimented on (motorbike conversions) and then abandoned. Such a waste, particularly when the Bis had a limited production run of just 4 years.
