Metisse Villiers
« on: November 25, 2013, 01:24:49 pm »
Pity about the colour. I've never heard of Competition Classics Metisse replica frames before or am I missing something obvious. Flowerpot Ben???
                                                               
Villiers Starmaker Engine (1963/65)
Cylinder & Head by DMW with special 5th porting.
The motor has new internal bearings seals and needle roller bearings on small end.
The gear box is close ratio and has a new clutch assembly with a spare Clutch assembly and an unused gearbox.
Moto Plat ignition
New Amal Carb.
Competition Classics Metisse frame made from nickel platted T45 (Reynolds 531) aircraft tubing.
Fiberglass tank and panels by competition Classics (All panels and tank showing some crazing inside of tank has been resealed)
Forks new MP675.
Rickman pattern alloy hubs by Competition Classics.
This Starmaker Metisse  motocross bike was believed to have been built in the late 1990s with all new or refurbished parts  by Clive Tomkinson of Norton Villiers & Competition Classics for pre 65 motocross but it has never be raced

This bike is immaculate and pristine condition.
Cash on collection from Newton Abbot, Devon.

The Dot sold for 1600 pound, which I thought that was cheap.

pretty sure it is a modified Rickman Zundapp frame, modified to accept the Villiers motor with a body kit on it to make it look old (not one of mine)

I cant see past the colour.  Sadly not my cup of tea.

I've found that Competition Classics used to make a replica Petite Metisse frame as well as replica REH hubs and fork staunchions.....plus specialising in Villiers Starmaker tuning. Bill Tomlinson?? or something similar was the guys name. I can't find anything online however.
