Rare Early Mobylette Stock uncovered at Classic Moped Spares

Early 1950's Mobylette Engine Parts

We have just sorted through some stock and come across these very rare Mobylette piston rings.

They are suitable for the early Mobylette which were produced in the 1950's up to the 1960. The early models that they will fit are (click the model to go to the shop):-

Mobylette AV3

Mobylette AV32 S

Mobylette AV32M

Mobylette AV51

Mobylette AV33

Mobylette AV54

Mobylette AV34

The rings have a scarf cut and are also internally grooved. Stocks are extremely low and we are limiting them to one set per customer so that as many enthusiasts can be helped out as possible.

The rings were originally manufactured in the Uk, by a company claiming (on the packaging) to produce the best quality rings in the world!

We do also on occasion, buy old moped stock despite having a mountain to sort through so if you find anything then please drop us an email at classicmopedspares@hotmail.co.uk

Sad Times at Classic Moped Spares - Please be patient

Difficult times at Classic Moped Spares

On the 6th April 2016 my mother sadly passed away after losing her fight with cancer. The past few weeks and months have been extremely hard and I appreciate all the support and help I have had from everyone, including Family, Friends, Customers and Carers, and in particular St Margaret's Hospice, Taunton.  

Classic Moped Spares is a family business and it is difficult to separate business and personal circumstances at this time. Currently there may be a delay of  up to 3-4 working days responding to queries and sometimes despatching goods, however it is also possible that your order may still go out on the same day.

We are not a large business such as Apple, Amazon, or Google, and have never intended to be. We are a small company in a very competitive market trying to offer items to help anyone restore a moped or classic motorcycle. 

We value your custom and do hope that we will not lose you, but understand at this time our high service levels will be hard to maintain. 

Do not be sad there are a lot of things to look forward to:-

• New products and services arriving
• Existing items being continued for sale, or being improved
• Stock being sorted and a new system being put in place to improve our services further

If anyone would like to make a donation then please do so direct to St Margaret's Hospice and refer to May Corrigan (RIP). The link is http://www.somerset-hospice.org.uk/donate

The best way to contact Classic Moped Spares still remains as:-

Classic Moped Spares Affordable Restorations

What is the Simplest Moped Restoration?

You have possibly heard the term 'Simplex' used with Velosolex. The Solex was always designed to be simple to work on. It is after all a bicycle with a small front mounted engine with a front mudguard cut out for the drive roller to engage.

Classic Moped Spares is expensive is certainly not something that can be said for the Solex machines, with tyres under £20 each and filters just a few quid, even replacing main parts is well within most budgets. 

With such simplicity the VeloSolex is a great little rewarding project and they also appear to be creeping up in value. They look so much fun I even bought one for myself, I just hope I get time to have a go on it!

Our Facebook Video well worth a peek

Take the stress out of your day and have a look!

I have just published a quick video on facebook. It uses just a small range of our images including a model on scooter (still waiting for the moped pictures!), great wheel rims and a customer's Solex restoration.

There is even some relaxing music playing in the background. So please take the stress out of your day and have a look our quick video and if you are happy with our service then please give us a facebook thumbs up!

The forum was down for sometime, but is now back up and running and going strong. There are a lot of members and I have found through my own experience that they are highly knowledgeable and helpful. 

The forum is easy to use after approval has been given. It appears to be run in a professional manner and is a credit to the auto cycle fan base.
