Model C in Athens, Greece

Postby Nassos » Mon Aug 18, 2014 9:31 pm

It was one of the cold days of January, but I didn't mind at all. The model.C had just arrived home and I was posing full of pride :D

it is mostly in its original paint and what it needs is a good clean and some time to be spent on it, so to bring it back to road.
Unfo due to lack of time, I didn't have the chance to give it the TLC it requires.

This particular C was part of the biggest classic scooters collection in Greece. Hopefully the man who used to own it, decided to reduce his collection by 90%.
He had imported it many years before, from Italy. But since he was mainly into Vespas, he didn't touch it, clean it or even more tried to fire it up. So it stood there, among dozens of V***as, waiting for someone who would really appreciate it and consider himself very lucky (and proud) owning it 8-)

thanks for the feedback guys :)

as for Dimitrios231, it is more than obvious that he envies my C as many people in Greece are whispering that this C is performing much better than his SX :mrgreen:

Wow. A time capsule piece.

Easy to see how the Series 1 came about when you look at those.

It's lovely.

Many thanks for your kind comments guys.
I will be keeping you posted as soon as I will have started taking care of it.
As for the Transit, I hope one day I will find the time to do a bolt and nut resto. It is a 1970 Mk1 mini-bus and I do intend to keep it next to my Triumphs in the garage and... using it a lot.
