Went down to the local tip today to take in the garbage (Outside councill truck runs, have to do it ourselves, but we get a free entry pass) and snuck down to the scrap metal pile on the way out.
Grabbed a rover utility base that might suit a friends needs, and an old, and rather mangled cortina, plus a stihl trimmer.
Any way, just pulled the cortina out and had a look, base is well and truely scrap, has a good fishtail muffler, great, i needed that, nice starter (wrong one though, Zip off a VC) reasonable wheels, cowls nice, another G3 for the...
...NO, wait, That's a full and original G2, linkages, cut-out system and all.
I've been hunting down a complete one of these for ages, found 2 incomplete ones at different times, seen a few pictures, but WOW.
I didn't even know the G2 had a cut out system, it's a wire that travels up with the throttle cable, and connects to a contact that connects with the throttle lever to kill!!!
I'll tidy it up, grab a few pictures, then get to work making a machine to suit, it came from a 1961 125cc cortina, which i might rebuild for the Job, or I might make it a corvette.
