HA! I toyed with buying one of these for a while. But when I sold my Lomax I got the Pembleton!

Great fun little cars! How long have you owned it?

Hi
it is 2cv, powered just about makes forward motion, but it's fun, and that's what ita about, I had a lomax back in the early 90's, and this is my second Avion, I had a blue one 5 years ago, sold it to a guy in Germany, regretted it, and snatched this one up, so few made, it's hard to find one.
I'd have gone for a pembleton too, very retro classic looking.

Ah you've got an extra cowling on there! I don't think ive seen one of those before! I thought your steering wheel was burried deep down there!

Mines CV powered too. Ive been eyeing up a bimmer air head motor, but they are very expensive!

I have a thread on here about it here if youre interested...

Also, while I'm at it - do you prefer the Burton spoked Bugatti style wheels or the bolt on BJ wires? I tried to get hold of some bj wires but they dont make them anymore!

As long as they are stainless, and don't rust I'm easy lol, I do find the bike tires don't handle as well as car tire do.
They look good, but that's it.
