1966 Raleigh Runabout
Registration Number: HUO 39D
Frame Number: 3R1418
Raleigh, Britain's best known and longest surviving bicycle manufacture, also made motorcycles from 1905 into the 1930s. More recently , the Nottingham company offered a range of mopeds, plus a scooter in the late 1950/1960s. The majority of the moped range were built under licence Motobecane Mobylettes.
The first of the latter was the RM4 Automatic, produced in 1961, while Raleigh first applied the Runabout name to the RM6 which was built in various versions from May 1963 until February 1971, when production of Raleigh mopeds ceased.
This machine is completely original and unrestored, largely assisted no doubt by spending over 40 years on display in a butcher's shop window, of all places.
With a drop of fresh fuel, the engine sprung into life and we understand runs nicely. The bike is sold on a bill of sale with a copy of older tax discs, but without V5C.
