Hello.
I have just purchased a Brown 126 1986 & am looking forward to getting him back on the road.
I am based in south East Northumberland - about 15 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne
Regards
Jerry

It's air cooled
Very sound chassis with virtually no rust but quite a few dinks.
Planned MOT next Tuesday
Need to fit standard springs on the back & drivers side refurbished kingpin before then.
Car came with original tyres from 86.  So got rims powder coated & new tyres fitted.
Engine runs fine but clutch needs adjusting.
