unclescott58 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The Fujimi kit with the bike and rack is very cool. I need to find one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagercr Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 That's cool! Drive your racecar to the track and ride the bike around the pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thanks guys for your comments.Stephen I used to be a race and air traffic marshal at the Silverstone circuit 5 miles from here. When we had a Bultaco Trials Bike in the '80's I would put the trailer on the back of our family Beetle and take the bike to do just as you said. It was far too crowded to use the car inside the circuit so I would use the bike, great fun when you think that most of the spectator viewing areas then were high grass banks alongside the track, perfect for a trials bike when I had an hour or so off duty during the day!

PatW Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks guys, I'm pleased that you like my efforts. Yes you just can't throw anything away, there are plenty of ways to rescue/rebuild kits, I just put the name of the vehicle into Google image search, and things appear that make you think, YES.

NuovoSFPD2n3/4 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 That's great! I got here by looking for rear mounted bicycle racks for 1:24 scale cars. I want to mount the 1:24 scale IXO 1959 Mobilette on the rear of my Heller Renault 4CV. I was thinking that if the driver went on holiday to one of the medieval towns in Brittany or Normandy with narrow and steep winding streets he would be smart and use a gasoline powered bicycle for the Summer. Thank you for the inspiration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 My pleasure Kinnon. Yes the idea of an old Mobilette is just right for Brittany and or Normandy. We go to Le Mans (24 Hour race) now and again and still see the old Mobilette's on the streets especially in the small towns and villages we go through!
