Bond Bug 850cc - MOT & Tax Exempt 3 Wheeler - Fully Restored for sale
Current customer rating: (82 votes ) based onPreviously restored example (purchased by me as you see it today).
I am not an expert in Bond Bugs - but I am told that this vehicle was taken apart, the chassis was galvanised and then everything was restored and put back together. The previous keeper described it as fully restored and has several that he is rebuilding currently too.
In my ownership, I have replaced various parts..... I've put in some new spark plugs, distributor, etc as it was only running on 3 cylinders. It now starts first click, sounds great and drives well. I have also fitted a new rear propshaft as the old one had been repaired.
As can be seen from the photos, this vehicle does look good but I would not call it concourse or perfect - rather, I would describe it as in very nice and useable condition. The interior is very nice and I have carried out some minor modifications to the pedals and steering wheel as I am 6ft and needed a little extra room to drive it comfortably. I am guessing then it will be better to drive than your average Bond Bug for that reason.
Everything works as it should and it drives as it should with a good turn of speed. The engine is very eager and due to the light weight, they are reasonably fast.
Bond Bugs have been rising in value quite quickly of late and not many were made so if you want to own a little piece of history, and fancy a decent one rather than one that needs loads of work to get it going, then this would be a good investment.
99p Auction with a realistic reserve. Happy bidding.
