Bergonzoni, very early one i would guess. Nice find, i have enough parts to fix it up good. Frumpy you going to bid? I'll hold off if you are going to, but you will need quite a bit to repair and build.

RE: What is it
I too could see rebuilding that, but them disc brakes look pretty rusted up. The rope from the recoil is also hangin out too, so I bet the spring is shot on that too, hmmmmm I have some money burning a hole in my pocket

RE: What is it
lol old rusty berg. you can spot them a mile away with the boss engine, and there clutch. and clutch bell.
they have a nitro style clutch, with the spring going all the way round two shoes, i dunno if they've changed that in their later models though...
if u wanna run that engine, ud have to pull it all apart, no airfilter and no spark plug + time = dirt + crap in ur engine.

Rusty old Berg, come on that is a gem. Bet that Boss will fire with NO PROBLEM. I'll let ya know when i win it. Looks like it was in a damp basement, or just plain left out in the rain.
Very strange front end also.

RE: What is it
i dunno - i dont like boss engines anymore :P
friend of mine lent me his dynamic/berg F1 that was about 7 years old, and hadn;t been run in 3.
i got it start, eventually, with the original plug even haha, but i could neve get it to sing, it would always just seem like its going half throttle, oh well :P even changing carb ect ect wouldn;t do anything :P

RE: What is it
Had some serious problams then, i have had 5 of them in the last 4 years, and all would run just perfect. This one might not run, who knows, if its been in the rain, i'm sure its junk. But its worth something, it looks to be mostly plastic, which would make it a starter car.
