Prior Viscount (Hercules) project without engine

I have had to re submit this scooter for sale due to ebay removing it because I used the name of two other well known scooter brands in my advert.  Apologies to bidders and the 40 + watchers. 1959 Prior Viscount scooter. PRIOR VISCOUNT only had that name in the UK. In Germany where they were built they were known as HERCULES R200's but as a UK company known as Hercules already existed. that name was not available here.  This scooter was originally supplied by "Spence & Co" in Belfast. There is no accompanying paperwork with this scooter so it will need to be registered.  Frame numbers are intact and clearly visible which should assist with registration process. The engines were highly sought after as they were used in the Messerschmitt 3 wheeler "bubble cars" hence the reason this scooter is sadly missing its engine. Following advice from friends I was advised not to start "adapting" it to take a different engine as there are so few of them left.  Due to its rarity and build quality this scooter is really worthy of a full restoration job but sadly my finances (and time) will not allow me to do it justice hence my decision to sell. The scooter is currently in SW France.  I have a friend returning to UK before Xmas who could transport it to within 30 mile radius of SE England ferryport for ??100. 00 if interested.
