sorry I lied!!! I could not resist showing you these either... Def' the last or I will get thrown out. The dart owner (my mate Peter) & his award winning car. This was the show I got third place with the Elan. Great day!
Just thought you might like to see these also.

?7K! Yes, I've seen the prices that scooters are going for . A straight swap for my Elan or pick any three of the six bikes in my garage? I would take a lot of convincing I was getting a good deal.

I may have it wrong (probably) but with the 200's my understanding was that the side panel style identified the type, (assuming it's got the original ones). The oldest type, the TV200 /GT200 had the indented side panels where the front bit was vertical. The SX200 had an "arrow" shaped front section and the later GP200 had a different shape side panel with a horizontal raised section. Or I may have imagined it all, it's been a while since I last watched Quadrophenia.


Richard, The 100cc 2T karts are a lot different to the Honda engined ones aren't they - even with two engines in them. Many years after my brief karting life I shared an office with someone who also raced karts but by then the era of sticky tyres, electronics etc was underway and he found it impossible to be competitive without outside finance. He sold the kart, bought an MG Midget and did a number of seasons racing on a fraction of the karting budget.
The corporate karts are great fun but many years of being involved with them at Silverstone and various other venues showed me that by and large the lightest driver wins.

Hi Again,

69s4 .. I think you may well be correct. The Sx is what I am after, though I don't fancy the prices they are going for. I have my Italian friends looking out for me. The yellowish ser 3 in the pics 'turned up' at a machinery show we were doing in Scotland in a big cardboard box. I had no idea it was there till we opened the box...expecting to see a bit of machinery for the show. I was somewhat surprised.

I want a genuine SX to restore. loads of fakes around one must be very carefull. They are great fun to do.

We better end this off topic stuff or I will be getting a slap. I accept all responsability....

Cheers guys.
