The engine was the Villiers 31C, 148 cc with a 3 speed foot change gearbox, fan cooling and a 12 volt Siba Dynastart electric starter. Suspension on the front leading arm and rear trailing arm was by Armstrong coil spring units, hydraulically damped. Rear chain adjustment was carried out by means of an eccentric spindle through the rear trailing arm. Wheels were 10" on 4" section tyres with 5" brakes. A dual seat, hinged on the right hand side, revealed the fuel filler cap to the 2¼ gallon glass fibre fuel tank.
Overall length 7' 8", width 2' 4", saddle height 2' 4" and ground clearance 5½". The Wheelbase was 4' 4" and the weight 262 lb. Colours available: Two-tone Blue, Green and Fawn or Maroon and Fawn. Optional extras included a windscreen, spare wheel and tyre, luggage carrier and a waterproof cover.
