Early GS tank
« on: June 07, 2008, 10:31:05 pm »
I don't suppose anyone has an early ('67...'69 )GS tank kicking around that they don't want ???? The one with the rubber knee pads?

1.5 Euro and no rust inside . The freight will  be dearer than the tank .

We have 4 seafreight shipments per year from Netherlands . If it does not create any hazzels for us , you are welcome to send your tank to YSS Europe

Roger...What model Maico do you want the tank for? If it's a '67-'69 the tank Paul found you on eBay Germany is wrong . I think it's for a mid fifties Taifun model. The correct  '66-67 tank is a roundish fibreglass tank and the '68/'69 tank is the common fibreglass 'coffin' tank. I just had a look at the other stuff the bloke in Germany was selling and it appears that he's broken up a 40's model Maico Victoria. Whatever it is, it's not the tank you're after Roger.
1955 Taifun

1967 Maico 250

1960 Maico 250

Thanks to everyone for the help so far ! The tank I'm after is the early roundish one for the GS just before they went to the slab sided MC style in '71-'72 . My Maico is a '71 250 square barrel,oval case but I want the earlier tank.
                             Regards
