WASPS’ NEST

The one remaining gap in Buzzsolomoto’s product line is now being filled, namely the dealer special. “When the Spanish Post Office disposed of its PXs we secured a large number from the final batch,” explained Buzz. “They’re in surprisingly good condition but obviously in need of an overhaul. I wanted to restore them in a way that acknowledged their previous history but the market for post office restorations is a small one!

“This year we’re creating 10 yellow and black Pinasco specials which a mixture of the post office and Pinasco colours. Each will be stripped to bare metal and any damaged plastic or metal repaired or replaced and finished in a chequered colour scheme. I’ve also found a beautiful FA Italia race seat, and we’ll fit Pinasco suspension too.

“We’re finalising the engine specification but it’s likely to be based on the Pinasco 177 kit with a MecEur race crank and Pinasco touring exhaust.”

The specials are likely to be available from Easter with a price of around £3500-£4000 depending on specification.
