Haven't karted in years. But I still have my last kart. I was cleaning up the garage & going to get rid of it locally.
Once I got looking at it, it would be a shame for it to wind up as junk.
Bought it in 1982 when I was 13 in Smith's Creek, Michigan.
Drove it and raced it some. Took over my life in my early teens.
It's a mid-70's Birel (Targa) I believe.
British "Hewland Arrow" rotary valve motor.
Back when I was a kid - I was told this was one of the first Birel karts imported to the US by Lake Speed. (of Karts & Nascar fame)
I know there are some vintage karting people that might want it.
Some U.K. forums look for these old motors as well.
Not trying to make a bunch of $$$ here. Just want it looked after. My kids aren't really interested. More into snowmobiling, boating, etc. I had intentions of restoring it.....but
Any suggestions???
