was scrolling around on ebay and found this:

the similarity from the HT and that is pretty cool, imagine riding around on that thing

It does look an awful lot like a happy time, doesn't it?

Looks like a a vintage cylinder bolted onto a China girl crank case.

the ht is a pirated copy of a copy.

the price is slightly optimistic. maybe half of that for a dedicated colector in that condition.

the engine is not a ht but is definitely something pretty old. albania is a dead give away.
if it isnt a genuine italian engine, its the cheap russian copy.

exact age indeterminate, as it says both 1920 and 27...

be a points ignition setup. i hate how non mechanicals get hold of lovely old machines and have no idea how to get them running.

few more years and it will be 100!
