Lot details Registration No: N/A Frame No: T.B.A. Engine No: Z2-112 cc: 50 MOT Expiry Date: N/A
This interesting machine was built as a single cylinder for the 1968 Grand Prix series when the 50cc class was changed from 2 cylinder to single cylinder and 6 gears. The twin cylinder Tohatsu engine was cut off the gearbox and the gearbox was married to a billet aluminium purpose made single cylinder engine, using Kreidler crankshaft and cylinder and of course rotary valve. It uses a CR110 clutch and the gearbox is of course 6 speed.
This machine when built is believed to have been called The Wolesto, after the two people responsible for its construction. It was raced on the Continent with, according to verbal information supplied to the vendor, good results, before being brought to the U.K. by Terry Keen in about 1970/71 who had purchased the machine from Theo Meurs. Terry Keen eventually sold the machine to David Braley who raced the machine with some success, before selling it to Steve Patrickson's father. It was then eventually sold to Greg Laughton and then as these things happen Dave Braley bought it back. He used the machine with the Classic Club and the Classic 50cc Club emulating his earlier success with it. The vendor purchased the machine off Dave Braley and has used it on many occasions. He describes it as being "a fast little machine and the gearbox is absolutely fantastic". The machine is Classic Club registered and is offered with a spare gear cluster and some other parts.
