Looking forward to seeing this restored. Top job so far Martin!

[@DiecastPowderCoating]

I'm so glad you are doing the Mobylette. I've been looking forward to getting home to watch your video. They are a lovely classic mopeds and are bit fussy to work on, but I'm sure you will do your magic. Take care, Jeff

[@retrorestore]

Yes Jeff, nearly every bolt was seized. Your X7 looks great too.

[@david1976aful]

Yes, Martin, the tinker man is back. 👍 I hope you and your family are all well.

[@paulbudford]

Some of the parts are in surprisingly good shape. Great video

[@retrorestore]

Thanks 👍

[@jacquesbowman1959]

Back in France in the 80's these used to be modified like the scooterists and scooter boys used to do with their Vespas and Lambrettas. I've seen chopped ones and chromed ones and dropped street racers and rats.

[@mrt49t67]

Martin I’ve been waiting and waiting for this and thanks it’s finally getting the Butler treatment… I’ve been to plenty of farm,agricultural sales along with carboot sales etc and seen plenty but won’t buy any until I’ve seen the expert aka Martin Butler show how it’s done I’ve only ever attempted projects until I’ve seen you do them and I’ve been itching to get one of these since me conversion into adulthood in the early 80’s and one of me mates had one I remember everyone used to ride each other’s bikes back then and this was the fastest 50cc out of all of them believe it or not but only for a day or two then it was the slowest 😆…. Good luck Mate and as I said I’ve been waiting a long time for this project all the best to you and your family Martin

[@retrorestore]

Thanks bud, yes, I remember the early 80's very well.

[@sdone7672]

Good to see you back on the bikes, nice work Martin. 👍

[@retrorestore]

Thanks 👍

[@douglastalbot8031]

This takes me back, used to ride these on the coal tip near my house in the 1970's when I was a kid. Could pick these up very cheap back then, used to hammer 2p's in the flywheel when the clutch slipped Lol.

[@mikeg8835]

The restorations are back ! I'm in.

[@leeroberts5496]

Nice work Martin.

[@PapiDoesIt]

Amazing to see so many parts made of metal! These days they are all plastic.

[@andy_v4443]

[@retrorestore]

You must be joking Andy lol

[@tedvegas5586]

Hi Martin. The seat is shared with a the brand PUCH . If you search puch models you will notice some similarities in parts.

[@retrorestore]

Thanks for the info!

[@menditman2004]

I’m a Puch man but I didn’t know that 👍

[@andrewhart6647]

Sat at work at asda Boston in covid cabin its me Andrew who u seen at asda that time

[@retrorestore]

Yes I remember Andrew.

[@menditman2004]

Hi Martin, Nice to see you getting started on this one, hope you can find the parts to keep it original, but I have a feeling some might be hard to obtain as there’s not to many of these around. What’s the inside of the tank like? Every Puch I get needs to be cleaned with the acid method I use. I’m looking forward to the next instalment thanks for the video 🙂👍

[@retrorestore]

I think the tank might be ok on this one Luke, we'll see soon enough.

[@rasher1000]

I have been wondering when you were going to start on this bike martin, she should scrub up nice, very reliable and econonable in their day, lovely Jublie... 👍👀👏

[@retrorestore]

He'll be back soon bud.

[@stuartwest1236]

Hi Martin,when you start a job like this do you research availability for parts before you start,or is it just down to your experience that you know what you can get your hands on? Looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos 👍👍

[@retrorestore]

I'm on the look out for parts now. It can take a while.

[@paulfloyd228]

Hi Martin, thanks for all the great videos, me and the missus are subscribers to all your channels! Did you ever do anything with this old Mobylette? do you still have it? I can see this one is a bit of a mess if you've lost interest are you interested in moving it on? I do like these old things and already own a 1974 50V Mobylette. Regards Paul

[@retrorestore]

I'm always open to offers Paul, drop me an email.

I had one of them things Martin....and it was the most unreliable, nastily built piece of french trash... The engineering is awful on em....and to think they were still churning em out in the early 80s.. Best of luck with it...
