rafferty newman wildcat 225cc in original box

[ducksta]

just been to a work colleagues house showing me his old motor bikes he has on the shelf a rafferty newman wildcat 225cc kit still in the box is it worth me pestering him for it .

As a performance tuning part probably not...

As a collectors item it prob should be in a museum. I'm sure there's some as would pay through the nose eyes and ears to get their hands on it...

If it's a 225 5 port it's definitely worth having. In the late 60's I had a go on a friends GT 200 fitted with this kit. It pulled 4th really easily and was much smoother than other GTs I had ridden. That's on a 20mm carb and standard exhaust as well.

as a museum piece unused its interesting, im sure Tino Saatchi would like it for the Lambretta museum. as a kit its just an old design. there were a few knocking around still in the 80's and i can't remember being impressed allied to the silly 52mm clubman that you couldnt tighten the exhaust stud nuts up on.. All the dinosaurs died out with the TS1 arrival.
