Keep the video Martin....you'll need it.Such a brave man
My late father had a blue one, I used to get it out of the shed and ride up and down the drive while he was out :-) Looks virtually the same as yours Martin.
Yes Martin I've waiting adges for you to start this project. My dad used to have one of them. ❤️Wish he was still about to see it finished
Love seeing old/vintage stuff being brought back to life. I will look forward to the next installment
Thanks Neil.
The Wizard is back in the house 👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant nice moped all the best
Thanks 👍
Have to get my Tomos moped underway
My dad bought one brand new in 1971 got a bit teary eyed watching this!
Love a old Moped. Ive just restored a 1980s Tomos moped
What a great machine 👍👍
Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos can’t wait to see refurbishment videos I am from South Africa
Enjoyed this vid. and looking forward to more . Thanks very much
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice job Mr slim!
Good job 👏👍this looks older than 1970 cud be wrong Happy days
If Gary joins in we can call this the "Stepthrough and Son" playlist 😉
Good job Martin.
Cheers Pete
Yes, Martin, the tinker man is back. 👍
I hope you and your family are all well.
This project makes great content for me as there’s just something special about that bike ( looking forward to the restoration part ) , thanks for this one Martin
Not a bike lover myself Martin but love watching your videos I still like to watch and learn as we know it’s going to be done to a high standard
Good to see you back doing what you do best bud 👍
Thanks 👍
Back in France in the 80's these used to be modified like the scooterists and scooter boys used to do with their Vespas and Lambrettas. I've seen chopped ones and chromed ones and dropped street racers and rats.
This takes me back, used to ride these on the coal tip near my house in the 1970's when I was a kid. Could pick these up very cheap back then, used to hammer 2p's in the flywheel when the clutch slipped Lol.
Great stuff! Looking forward to this one!
Looking forward to seeing the next video martin
Thanks 👍
Never seen one before Martin ! Great looking little bike .. I like it
Thanks Shawn, good to hear from you bud.👍

Great job Martin, looking forward to next one.
Thanks 👍
Superb looking moped Martin,,, really enjoy these projects
Thanks Steve👍
Looking forward to seeing how this project progresses.
I'm so glad you are doing the Mobylette. I've been looking forward to getting home to watch your video. They are a lovely classic mopeds and are bit fussy to work on, but I'm sure you will do your magic.
Take care, Jeff
Yes Jeff, nearly every bolt was seized. Your X7 looks great too.
been waiting for this ages martin
Martin I’ve been waiting and waiting for this and thanks it’s finally getting the Butler treatment… I’ve been to plenty of farm,agricultural sales along with carboot sales etc and seen plenty but won’t buy any until I’ve seen the expert aka Martin Butler show how it’s done I’ve only ever attempted projects until I’ve seen you do them and I’ve been itching to get one of these since me conversion into adulthood in the early 80’s and one of me mates had one I remember everyone used to ride each other’s bikes back then and this was the fastest 50cc out of all of them believe it or not but only for a day or two then it was the slowest 😆….
Good luck Mate and as I said I’ve been waiting a long time for this project all the best to you and your family Martin
Thanks bud, yes, I remember the early 80's very well.
Great Vid Martin 👍
Nice work Martin.
Thanks 👍
Great video Really been looking forwards to this one more more more more more please
More to come!
I got to see where this was made ? Wow talk about a project I can't wait to see what you do with this next 👍
for the age of that the metal work is not bad and will clean up good i think,looking forward to next one Martin
Amazing to see so many parts made of metal! These days they are all plastic.
Hi martin how meany years have you been fixing motorbikes and lawnmowers and cars I love watching you fixing things
I've fixed things all my life Peter.
should get lee in there to help, that be well funny, great vid martin.....
You must be joking Andy lol
I have been wondering when you were going to start on this bike martin, she should scrub up nice, very reliable and econonable in their day, lovely Jublie... 👍👀👏
Hi Martin.
The seat is shared with a the brand PUCH . If you search puch models you will notice some similarities in parts.
Thanks for the info!
I’m a Puch man but I didn’t know that 👍
they are mad peds,my mate had one in the 80"s,it done nearly 50mph and it was standard,
good blog martin keep them coming and are the dogs being good for you Gary from Crewe
Sat at work at asda Boston in covid cabin its me Andrew who u seen at asda that time
Yes I remember Andrew.
First bike i owned
Year of Manufacture 1971..
Hi Martin, Nice to see you getting started on this one, hope you can find the parts to keep it original, but I have a feeling some might be hard to obtain as there’s not to many of these around. What’s the inside of the tank like? Every Puch I get needs to be cleaned with the acid method I use. I’m looking forward to the next instalment thanks for the video 🙂👍
I think the tank might be ok on this one Luke, we'll see soon enough.
Hello thanks just bought one so hows the restoration going? Curious since ill be doing this soon. Love to see it done!
Bon projet
Hey Martin love the new project, do you have any updates on Project man how’s he doing and will we get to see the master at work again soon… keep up the great videos
He'll be back soon bud.
Is that engine the same one as Jeff's just finished restoring on Jeff and jenny's channel ?
Yes it is.
Hi Martin,when you start a job like this do you research availability for parts before you start,or is it just down to your experience that you know what you can get your hands on? Looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos 👍👍
I'm on the look out for parts now. It can take a while.
Oh,and it's still the original color, Bronze
yep K is 72 😃
Hi Martin where do you find your restoration projects as im looking for a bike like this for a beginner restoration?
Nowhere particular, Facebook marketplace is a good start or gumtree
Hi Martin, thanks for all the great videos, me and the missus are subscribers to all your channels!
Did you ever do anything with this old Mobylette? do you still have it? I can see this one is a bit of a mess if you've lost interest are you interested in moving it on? I do like these old things and already own a 1974 50V Mobylette.
Regards Paul
I'm always open to offers Paul, drop me an email.
Bet it's first time any of them bolt have ever been out
Yes, most were seized Gary.
@@retrorestore have you thought of filling the mudguard keep it looking original
I bet you could tack weld some new sheet metal in on that rear fender Martin
I've sourced a good second hand one now
@@retrorestore nice one
Bloody hell Martin. No intro music this time? Haven't seen that on your vids. Or am I missing something? Lol great resto so far though mate
I forgot to add it lol
I used to have one of these loved it Martin ps could you send me your sticker I will send my new design thanks rob
Email me your address Rob.
I hope you get the parts you need to finish it off. It will look the mutts nuts 🤪 👍
Been off the road for 34 years. It doesn't even need a SORN. Last V5C issued on 14th March 1985. You haven't had this bike that long have you? Road Tax class - exempt
I've had it about 3 years I think
Would you consider selling the moped to me after the restoration
Possibly Brian.
Why so many 20 second ads ?
TH-cam places the ads bud
I had one of them things Martin....and it was the most unreliable, nastily built piece of french trash...
The engineering is awful on em....and to think they were still churning em out in the early 80s..
Best of luck with it...
