Picked up this Kinwald XX and it doesn't appear to have been used much. Tires and wheels are being replaced with new and i need a new front tower. I bought a new Speckled graphite front tower off of ebay but a couple days later the seller emailed me and said there inventory was off and he refunded my money.

This looks like a great starting point for the restoration of this 'ultimate' edition of this classic buggy
The best thing is that it looks like the 'Kinwald kit' only, blue motor plate looks to be in great condition!

Definitley needs a strip down and clean but like Dan says, it's a good starting point for a restoration without a doubt.

Yes the motor plate is in very nice condition with just a couple little tiny nicks on the bottom edge. I don't think it was ran much and the owner used chassis protector down the center and on the motor plate.

So I have a new front tower and graphite battery brace coming then I will tear down and see what else I might need.

No interest in this in the BST so I guess I will make it a runner!
