Jon, I've not got a Nippy, but a Type 75, one of very few on the register. In my case, It was one of the first restored (early 1960s) and and spent much time in a museum. There is such a dearth of info, I wanted to confirm, according to current information, that Type 75s/Speedys, conformed with Type 65s/Nippys in many details. For instance, it was first thought that all Type 75s/Speedys had flat topped windscreens, but this has now been disproven. Although I intend it as driver, I also want it to be as close to original specifications as possible as it is basically already as it left the works(as far as we can determine.) Again with only about 7 remaining, I will drive it, but want it as close to works spec as possible. My criticism with the Nippy currently for sale regarding, for instance, the leather door retaining strap, has both to do with originality, and functionality. Odd that it isn't addressed, as if the door were to swing, perhaps at an inopportune moment, it could do serious damage.
