My first ever bike was a Casal SS4 50cc unrestricted ped. My son was looking for a project for us to work on together and I had the bright idea of getting one for him.
They seem to be extinct, so does anyone have one for sale. Like this one:



Think it is designated K160.
Anyone help?

Absolutely this.

When a V5 by itself is being sold for £200, a whole bike is going to be silly money!

Searching shows adverts for two that have sold. One was up for £4K.

Casals were very rare. I only ever saw one, a scrambler.

Consider the vast number of FS1/Es and SS50s sold and even they are like hen's teeth now and the prices are just very silly, for a bit of underpowered nostalgia.

Might have better luck looking in Portugal where they were made.

Back in the 80's my brother had an SS50.

When he took it to the local bike shop to trade against an H100 they gave him a free pair of gloves for it.

I've got a 1976 fizzie languishing in a shed somewhere. I should probably think about doing something with it!

I have just been working with a colleague from Portugal who has been tasked to "ask around"

I was hoping the pricing hadn't hit the nostalgia bonus due to the lack of being popular but oof £4k will be way over budget.

I've got a Casal that I'm restoring now.
It's a 1977 SS4 in blue, my brother had it from new, when he was sixteen and used until he passed his car test. I had it 3 years later and rode it for about 18 months until 1982.
It then got put in my Father's garage and sat there until about 5 years ago when he passed away and ended up in my shed until I could get around to restoring it.

Parts are available but limited, I managed to find some engine parts in Spain and hoping I can just use the original stuff I've got to get it back on the road.
