Jawa 250 Twin port, (559) 2 Stroke,Classic,Vintage CZ Maico MZ Barn find, 1960's
Hi I have a Jawa 250 Twin port, 2 Stroke, 250 for sale (Model 559) Owned by the previous keeper for 40 years! The bike is running. The dip and main beam work, the rear brake light works, the horn "clicks" when the button is pressed but is not audible. The bike was bought in 1974 when the previous owner needed transport at the age of 16 to attend his Apprenticeship. Afterwards it was consigned to the garage until now. The bike has been started regularly. As I say it runs although I've not run it for any length of time and I've not been out on it. The mileage of 7543 is believed to be genuine. Just prior to it being laid up a new Carburettor was purchased and I'm informed that the carb has done bout 10 miles in total. The bike's extremely solid, well built, rust and dent free apart from a small dent on the top of the mudguard but that seems to be all. There is a wing mirror mounted to the front mudguard which makes an amusing, period feature. The bike would benefit from a good service but there appears to be nothing significantly wrong with it. Personally I would just give it the once over and use it as it is. A new battery has been fitted. The V5 is long lost unfortunately and new docs will need to be applied for however, all in all a great little bike. It comes with a manual for the 350cc model but much of it appears relevant. Any inspection is welcome. Please feel free to ask questions. I'm located just West of Cardiff, 5 mins from J34, M4 Payment is by cash on collection pl...
