Nice and complete T T Rep on ebay if anyone is interested

Not really a TT Rep it is a 1938 Flying Squirrel. Been on the Register since 1971 with the same owner until recently.

Is that a dripper system on the oil?

[BRIAN MARSHALL]

Usual chain-oiler dripper, via an Enots dial-faced dripper. Engine has the expected Pilgrim pump.

I see that the DPZ engine number denotes a detachable head replica ; perhaps the crank cases were changed at some time.
The frame number indicates it’s a 1936.
Does anyone still manufacture those Enots oil dripper taps? I could do with one for my chain oiler tank.
Chris.

[BRIAN MARSHALL]

1935 to 1950 all Flying Squirrels had the DPZ or DPY prefix to the engine number, classed as “Detachable Head Longstroke Powerplus Replica” type, and of course that makes people with no in-depth Scott knowledge think that they have got a TT Replica Model ! It’s just a Flyer….

One of the racing Norton spares suppliers does the Enots drippers, probably Simon Grigson, but I’m not 100% sure, and the last time I looked they were rather expensive…..

[BRIAN MARSHALL]

Over four years ago we had a go at this subject. Put “Enots (Benton and Stone) Chain oiler drippers” into the Search box to see it all again.

[Orgasmatron]

Yes, I recall the discussion.
I have actually contacted Bigkev at Vincentracing to see if (by any chance – not much, I know) any left.
I seem to recall that they were very expensive and, at the time, I thought that I might be able to pick one up on Ebay (yes, I am a dreamer); I bet that someone, somewhere, probably has a box full under their work bench.

Now it’s past 5k, still not reached it’s reserve.
now you can see why spares are the price they are, greed pure greed.

[Tman]

Hardly greed. He’s selling and people are bidding.
Would you give away your bike for £4/10s? I don’t think so.

[Barrie]

No, he is not selling till it’s reached the reserve , which I bet is the price he is willing to let it go.
A Scott would never go for £4 and 10

[Tman]

Well yeah, but people are still bidding hoping thier’s will be the winning bid.
Like anything, it’s worth just what someone will pay for it.
I rather doubt you’d get a Scott (or any other old bike) for £4/10 now, but I was referring to the dim and distant past when £4/10 was a week’s wages for many people, and old bikes were just that…old bikes.

[Barrie]

£6,200 and it did not hit the reserve, proof of the pudding is in the eating , lol

[Tman]

Sorry barrie, I don’t know what’s been “proved” other than he didn’t sell his bike.
Other Scotts have sold for more, as I’m sure you’re aware.
