Hi guys, Im looking to tidy up this baby kwakka for my kids, but im not too sure of what it is exactly? I think it's a KV75, MTE 75??? I called my local kwakka dealer and gave him the steering head frame number, he couldnt tell me anything. The engine number is MTE24960. And the frame number is MT026730. I have seen a few on line (vintage minis i think it was) that look very similar, I think going off the oval shaped plastic oil tank it's early 70's? but the one thing different about this one to all the others i've seen, is that this one has a foot rear brake! which no others i have seen do. Wheather this is original or not i dont know? The front brake is mounted on the left hand side of the rim. Apart from that, thats about all i know. It's missing a few bits, but she roared into life after sitting in a shed for a couple of years. Some fresh fuel and oil, a push down the drive and into second, a cough and splutter and we were away laughing! So if anyone can tell me what year and model, and maybe where i can get bits from? Any info greatly appreciated thanks.
