The lads at Alderley Edge, Cheshire August bank holiday 1972.
Loz on the left , Yank ( who is actually a cousin of the Bee Gee's!) and myself with tasteful green cords with black extra bits, obscured by Yank. My Mobylette in the foreground.

I guess so. The owner would have just started work after doing his O levels.

Alderly Edge, never mind Ford Escorts and Cortina mark1's , you can't move there nowadays for Bentleys, Lambo's and Mc Larens.

I don't do much facebook but there's two groups for 60-70s bikes and 80-90s I quite like - with a lot of stuff like this.

Yeah it's a Puch M50? 'sports' moped rather than utilitarian.
There is another one , right over in the left corner, chrome tank panel.
