Darren,
When I had a Corgi years ago I found the vintage bike people could find almost any part for the engine. There was an old British Bikes parts place in Elizabeth Street Melbourne who had pistons, rings etc. It was a bugger to start and lacked power but that was solved with a new crank case seal. If you ride them on the dirt I guarantee you will be in pain (or need surgery) from a smashed knee which is the first thing to hit the ground! Lang |

My present 1943 Welbike MK. II was purchased out of Australia and is now in Richmond, BC, Canada. It is 100% complete and I have the original combination tool and original manual. The original tires suggest that this Welbike was barely used. The fellow's uncle had bought it to drive between the house and his garage. The previous owner repainted it the wrong shade of green but happily he masked off the original markings on the tanks.
When I uncrated it, an old couple was walking past the house and the man made a wisecrack. I told him to come and sit on it for some photos as he was a WWII paratrooper veteran and he had fought in Holland. He was the first person in North America to sit in it. Oh, did I mention that he was a Fallschirmjaeger? This Welbike is listed on my web site for sale. (2016 January) but I am in no hurry to sell it. I let my other two Welbikes go a few years ago. One ex-California Shriners one (painted blue) went to Ottawa. The other Welbike which was still in its original paint, but was very well used, ex-Ohio (I had to go and pick it up!) went to Holland. It has since been restored and taken to Arnhem on visits I believe. Colin ![]() http://captainstevens.com/militaria-...tary-vehicles/
