Ed, No problem. Probably some useful bits in there. If Ian is coming in a tin top to pick up his alternator, he might be able to get the bits 60 miles closer to you if you want to arrange Gonads. If your work collegue is interested, I will be selling the 350 Bullet engine in the next few months as I'm converting my Enfield into a diesel! I also have enough bits for another diesel conversion if he wants a bike that sounds like a cement mixer but does 200mpg Bruce.

No problem Ian :-) I'll try and get a photo to you tomorrow (The Alternator is currently at my Son's house in Hythe). Better still, just take it and sort the payment when your happy with it. Should be around Boxing Day but can always leave it in the porch. I might even let you sit in my new Elise! Bruce.

Hi, I've been clearing out my attic. My Son has shifted most of the 30 years worth of hoarded stuff on e bay (for a 50% commission!) But I have the following left over: K series alternator I got it second hand (good condition) but think it was for an EU3 car as it didn't fit my EU2 Caterham. I can e mail photo's if necessary. Offers around £30? I would prefer pick up from Kent. SOLD to SM25T Loads of Royal Enfield 350/500 Bullet bits including exhausts, engine parts, battery boxes, number plate/rear light assemblies etc. Free to any one who want's to pick it up. Next stop will be the tip! 'Dibbed' by Ed White 2 Unicycles. 1 Adult 20" wheel good qualiy (home made) 1 kids (up to about 14 years) 16" wheel (shop bought) £20 each or £30 for both. This would be pick up from CT21 also. Sold :-) I have various 30 year old spares and bits including part of an original Lotus Twin Cam Head Gasket Set, a 'Mountney' steering wheel Ally centre (off one of my Mini's no doubt) etc FOC if anyone wants to pick it up. Again, next stop will be the tip! Chucked I will put a donation to NTL from any proceeds. I will put a copy of this ad on the SELOC forum next week if no interest here. Bruce.

Same offer here. I can fit some cable ties if needed. and jack the car up to check. I'm near Hythe. Near J11 M20 if it helps. 01303 260665 Bruce.

Sold to Ralf and destined for Germany subject to completion

Quoting McBreadhead: Bruce, Can I ask what horsepower that makes? The simple answer is I haven't a clue! It has significantly more torque than the 1400ss engine but it isn't as 'revvy'. I managed a 0-60 time at Dunsford of 4.9 secs but don't know how accurate that is. I would guess in the region of 130bhp but it has the potential to go to 150+ bhp with throttle bodies and an Emerald ECU (i.e. R300 spec). Bruce.

Ian, This is the most fun car I have ever owned but with 4 motorbikes and 2 cars I find myself using it less and less 😔 I intend to build my 'yellow peril' diesel motorbike replica over the winter so space is getting a bit limited around here! I also need to replace my daily runabout soon. If I use the money from the 7, I will look at Mini Coopers. If the 7 doesn't sell, I will look at 2nd hand Toyota Aygo's and keep the 7 to break the boredom. I haven't told my wife I may have to put a tow bar on her Fiat 500 to get my Trials bikes to competitions if I go the Aygo route. I was even thinking about getting a Red Bull Mini and turning it into a pick up but that's just another project! Bruce.

O.k. I added links from my photo bucket account which has recent photos of my Caterham but for some reason you can see all my photos on there! 😳 Nothing incriminating though 😬 I also took some additional photos of the corrosion today. I can e mail these separately if it helps. To save myself answering the same questions please note the following: The car is factory built (not a Q plate) I was originally going to refit the 1400ss engine to sell the car and then sell the R300 engine separately. Therefore the Registration Doc still has the original engine number in it and the 1400ss engine goes with the car. Hope this helps. Bruce. Edited by - Brucey on 27 Jul 2014 16:24:40

For the people who have e mailed me already I'll get some photo's out to you tomorrow. Thanks, Bruce.

After 10 brilliant years of ownership it is time for someone else to enjoy this lovely little car. This is the advert I will be placing on Piston Heads shortly. I thought I would give it a chance here first. The details are as follows: MOT April 2015 Tax July 2015 Mileage 60K miles (approx 15K on new engine) 4 previous owners British Racing Green with Yellow Stripe and Noseband.

It returns around 40mpg with a 200 mile range on a tank of fuel. The bodywork is in good condition for the age and mileage but not immaculate. The original clamshell holes are still visible and there is some minor corrosion on the side skins. There are the usual star cracks on the glassfibre panels. All the aluminium panels are painted BRG. I have recently fitted the Avon Z3 tyres and have to admit they are not as nice as the Yoko 539’s previously fitted (no longer available in 14”) however; they are fine for my usage. Any questions or photo’s please blat mail me. I have already been offered £9000 from a local specialist dealer so no silly offers please. here here here here here here Edited by - brucey on 25 Jul 2014 21:57:42 Edited by - brucey on 25 Jul 2014 21:58:20 Edited by - brucey on 27 Jul 2014 15:29:17 Edited by - brucey on 27 Jul 2014 15:30:57 Edited by - brucey on 27 Jul 2014 15:33:42 Edited by - brucey on 27 Jul 2014 21:34:58 Edited by - brucey on 31 Jul 2014 09:11:26

Now on e bay with photos, video etc. ebay link

My Son has now put the Enfield on E bay. ebay link There is a bit more detail and some photos. Bruce. Edited by - Brucey on 5 Jul 2014 21:18:27

Roger, It currently has a dual seat fitted because my Son used to take his girlfriend on the back. However, it comes with a single seat as well. I have a single seat fitted to my fairly ropey trials Bullet and although it looks nice. I have to say the dual seat is slightly more comfortable. However, this may just be because his lower mileage shocks work better! If you blatmail me your e mail address, I'll send some photos....or get my Son to do it!

Following on from my jet wash ad! I bought this bike around 6 months ago to convert into a diesel engine motorbike. The previous owner had passed away but it was clearly his pride and joy. He did 240 miles on it in the 10 years he owned it. It has done around 1,800 miles in total! The bike has had various parts canged to make it as near to the original UK spec bike as possible (rear number plate and lamp assy, front number plate added, Amal carb, chrome handlebar choke lever etc etc). I have since bought a much rougher bike that I don't mind taking a hacksaw to! My son has been riding it for the last 6 months and he has given it a really good shake down, changing bits where necessary to make it nicer to ride (wider handlebars, bigger levers etc). His insurance has now run out and I really can't justify the 4 motorbikes and 2 cars I currently own! I have ridden it and it is truley the spirit of the 50's. Don't expect to get anywhere fast but do expect to get a lot of waves and attention as you cruise along the A and B roads. I'm looking for offers around £1,550. It will be going on e bay soon. Contact me if you or anyone you know may be interested. Bruce.

I need a battery (preferably round post) that gives 12v and holds a charge to fit to my 10hp diesel (electric start) jet wash. I'm currently using a booster pack which I believe uses a medium size motorbike battery. This works fine. I can get a new one in Halfords for about £45 but I'm only fitting it to sell the jet wash. (see for sale) I usually use the pull start, but there is nothing like just turning a key to start your 10hp internal combustion engine jet wash! Bruce.
