Hello All, The most commonly asked question people ask when someone views my collection after where were Douglas made is where did they end up.
A few years ago I picked up at a swap meet a low light model which has been lonely and virtually unloved against the back wall.
A friend sent me an email just recently asking if I was interested in bidding on a one owner, deceased estate, currently and always been road registered unit in the Brisbane area. Anyway to cut a long story short the 700 km return trip has been completed and it now keeps the low light company. Differences in the 2 are very little one has a spare wheel carrier the last obtained has been modified to a twist cable gear change instead of the rod change.
My question to the experts is????? I believe the low light was sent to places like Aust because of it not being considered road worthy in the UK. Now my model does have provision for the light up front near bars. Can't find any reference in parts books etc.
Can hardly wait to mix some 2 struck fuel and give it a spin but expect it will be a bit of a non event after the other Duggies I have ridden. regards Alan PS:- Note the mod plates on the green one at the base and frame tunnel. I believe the frame was broken and repaired. Guess the owner over estimated the power of a Vespa and constant wheel standing has caused the break
