steve roberts 9,246 Posted December 4, 2018 Does anyone have the kit model of a Jawa Speedway Bike (Italian product if I recall?) that they would be willing to sell? Preferably one that hasn't been completed or unused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me too, well I intended to. I partly assembled it and left the bits drying in the box which somehow, whilst I was out, had other heavier boxes piled on top of it, completely crushing the model (aarrgghh!). Spoiler alert: I liked the dinky crank, conrod and piston inside the engine, presumably one left the head unglued for easy viewing. It also featured plastic chains, rubber / plastic tyres and I believe sprung front forks. I recall it cost me £6.40 in about 1980, so around £25 or so nowadays though a pal keeping a look out for me saw one at a sci-fi / fantasy / toyfair priced at £130 (!). I told him thanks, but I'd leave it.... Edited December 5, 2018 by martinmauger spelling 2x 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Preferably one that hasn't been completed or unused. I might have one available. Never got round to making it up. Looks like all parts are there (but no way of checking unless it is made up) and box has been squashed though everything looks intact. PM me if interested.

Liontamer 202 Posted December 5, 2018 I've got two in my loft. One is half made up, but I never got round to finishing it. The second one is still in it's sealed box. After Christmas I intend to clear my loft out & sell off my 50 years collection of speedway memorabilia. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bunce 347 Posted December 13, 2018 You have reminded me that I've got one in the loft, part assembled, and like many others, I never finished it! These posts have now encouraged me to go and find it, and finally finish it off. I can't remember how many years ago I bought it, but its a lovely model with great detail. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve roberts 9,246 Posted January 9, 2021 Having acquired the model some time back thru' a very obliging contact (may have been compost?) I've actually got round to assembling it at last and placed it in a display case! Very pleased with it and takes pride of place on my desk top. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
