'Special' for sale.

Post by Robbo87 »

For sale, the famous 'Throbnostle Special'.
One careful owner, many one-off parts, may require light recommissioning to return it to it's previous concours condition.

The chap who spotted it reckons it might be a cement mixer engine so yes, probably a Lister.
It's parked at a cafe/farm shop close to the A38 near Tewkesbury apparently and was definitely rideable at some time. There's more there than meets the eye at first glance e.g.check out the drive chain tensioner.
