1999 Trollhattan Rally

M.C. Bil Klubben, Sweden gave us a lovely welcome to this great rally.

The staff at E&M Scooters and theGoteborg Scooter Club took us to this brilliant Real Ale pub, 'The Rover' in the town centre. Here's the Landlord.
	One of the most amazing machines I've ever seen this crashed Kr200 was given a new lease of life with this superb homemade bodywork. The Swedish owner bought a wheeling machine from England and taught himself to use it!! The stunning result had to be seen to be believed.
I know the purists won't like it, but I think that it is a beautiful way to resurrect a dead 'Schmitt.
	It was a wet weekend, and wet weather gear was limited to this tiny screen!
Here, you can see the standard of work on this wonderfully curvaceous rear end. Wicked! (The rear headrest has been removed)
	The guy who owned this brought his family in this well used Kr200. Special features included a large section of another nose pop-rivetted over the original. I want it!!
On the run-out a Danish 300 Isetta, a Heinkel 200, nice Kr175 (which was for sale), two Fuldas an a Kr200 as we headed towards the Saab factory where we were given a long talk in Swedish (Ian snored all the way though it!), we then went on a tour of the factory.
	Some of the nice selection of micros including the Minicomptesse (white) and King Fulda Mobil at Mc Bil's friendly Trollhattan Rally.
Nice variety at this lovely campsite.
	Amazingly, this very nice Kr175 failed to sell at about £3,500-3,800.
Someone was struggling to push this little caravan up to the autojumble so I towed it up for them. It was badged as a Globe Caravans, Eldiss 1200. These miniature caravans were made by the apprentices and used by representatives to demonstrate the quality of their larger caravans. Often found on the top of Showroom roofs or mounted on a pole as an advert.
	The strange little Minicomptesse 'voiture sans permis' hailed from France. It came out on the run-out with us. Features castors to stop it falling over!
Another view from the run-out
	A nice line-up at the shipping locks, Trollhätten
A very nicely restored Goggomobil Royale.
	It looked like this Isetta was built in NASA, what a dash!
