General Discussion / 1956-57 Maico Scrambler/Motocrosser Side Panels & Color Scheme

« on: January 12, 2014, 04:40:37 am »

Would anyone happen to have for sale the two side panels that resemble tool boxes on each side of an early Maico Scrambler/Motocrosser?  I understand they are different than the Blizzard and are not functional tool boxes.

Also, does anyone have the proper paint scheme and/or photos of a '56-'57 Maico Scrambler?  I understand they were "green" with two parallel red lines on both fenders.

Thanks for any help!

Gentlemen, I'm a new member and while scrolling through the discussions I found this.  Interesting, I purchased this bike on New Year's eve.  As it turns out, the bike is a 1957 Maico 250 Scrambler and someone, probably the original dealer, added the headlight.  The first owner added the red paint and the pin-striping.  I had planned on building the bike to a modern GP style motocrosser that I could race competitively in Premier Lightweight classes however, with the rarity of the bike I now plan to restore it to original condition and race it at a slower pace.

I look forward to the group!
