Hi MS,

I'm awaiting an answer from the supplier I know down here in SA.

Cheers,
BB.

Thanks BB,

I'm going to see if I can find anything in WA.

Meanwhile, did you get stuck into the GCV...?

Hi MS,

I've just had my contact call me back and he's told me that at this stage Cox never produced any of the Enduro's since they took over Greenfields but are considering in the next 12 months whether they will do a run of them and test the water with sales. If it's purely based on profits then I'll say that this will never get off the ground as Lewis never made them out of profit gained but more so as a marketing tool to keep the name going in suburbia which in turn was a spin off to making more sales in ride ons.

As far as the Honda is concerned it's safely tucked away and the engine will be a project in the next few weeks as I've spent quite a bit of time creating space in my shed so that I can actually work in there opposed to using the back of my ute as the work bench while the shed was used for storage. My plan is everything that hasn't been used in the last 5 years will go and give some funds in return and as such fund the projects like the Honda and a few more Scotty's to cut loose I guess.

Cheers,
BB

Thank you for that BB. I've had no better success here. I don't think the (very nice) chap even knew what they were, even though the shop is Greenfield's distributor here in WA!

So, well, s#@t. I either gamble on a return to production or try to find one elsewhere. What a pain.

Sounds reasonable regarding the GCV. I need a bit of a clean-up this end. Won't help much though, I'll still be working on either the pavers or concrete flooring!

Hi MS,

I'll do some more searching for you.

Regardless of the state of this GCV it'll be up and running again at some stage as I'm definitely not giving up on it. It's not often you fall across a good Honda in nice condition for $25.

Sadly I missed out on one for $50 in Victoria yesterday as it was listed on Gumtree and sold instantly, as it would.

Cheers,
BB.

Hi MS,

I reckon I've found the very last one left (Greenfield Enduro) in captivity and it's in Victoria for $699 if you are interested. Can you please contact me via Private Message if you have an interest securing it.

Everyone I've spoken to has nothing but they all state that everyone that has one probably doesn't realise what sort of quality product they have. Something I am well aware of as is CyberJack also who has one of these beauties.

Let me know.

Cheers,
BB.

PS. Here's the actual brochure for the machines in question.

Honda motors don't stay on Gumtree very long. There was a GXV here for a reasonable price. Went back for a second look and it was gone. GXVs don't come up often here either it seems.

I've sent you a message.

Cheers.
