Classic Moped Spares is Open after flooding

Open after Flooding in the area

The website www.classicmopedspares.com and ebay store classic-moped-spares are back running and orders are going out. The flooding in Somerset caused some temporary problems with the road networks (affecting deliveries) which hopefully has now been resolved. 

The recent flooding has caused chaos throughout the UK and there may still be some delays with delivering orders due to the challenges faced by the road and rail networks. The Royal Mail Postal service and couriers such as Hermes out there are doing a wonderful job considering the challenges they are facing.

More high winds and bad weather is predicted with a months worth of rain expected to fall in the next few days according to the BBC. Please do keep safe

• 1980's Suzuki FR 50. A rare machine I have not seen many of these and certainly not in this condition. I would buy it myself, but probably wouldn't let go of it! This model has had an Mot and has very low mileage. A very good investment opportunity. Click here to view

Flooding causing temporary closure at Classic Moped Spares

Flooding in Somerset is causing temporary closure

Apologies to everyone at the moment friends, customers and suppliers alike. The flooding in Somerset has caused many delays to many businesses and we have been relatively unaffected until now. Due to the recent extreme conditions a number of trees have fallen in the area and the flood water has been impassable from different directions. This has meant delays in getting orders out and responding to inquires. 

There was also an accident causing gridlock around the Somerset M5 Motorway Taunton junction earlier today just to add to the flooding problems.

More information about the flooding can be obtained by clicking the BBC website 

I am sure many businesses in Somerset and the UK are affected by these extreme conditions and hopefully things will improve so that normal service will resume shortly. I hope you will all keep safe and your spirits up during this time!
