Got this from an Uncle who had just passed away last year. This was in his backyard (farm) and sitting for over 40 years in a field. It has a 3 speed Burman gearbox (British). I was going to rebuild the motor but found a new old stock Briggs & Stratton on ebay and just changed the outer housing with the original. I finished the scooter yesterday and gave it to my uncle's son (57 year old cousin) today as a surprise Christmas gift. Brought tears to his eyes. Image

It's amazing what steel wool and a little Armor All can do!
