Looks like a Norman, one of the immediate post-war ones built from Rudge bits.

And registered as Villiers that's going to be fun (not) convincing an insurance company you have a "Villiers" and good luck trying to convince DVLA it's really a Norman.
And some of the pictures are from a different bike altogether. |

Even odder that somebody would buy it 🤔🙄😮

I've decided that I have to let my, only recently acquired, '79 Mobylette 40T go. I love it but have to be honest with myself. It's not practical for hauling my Bulk around and I need something that will get me around, hills included.
I've put it on (Shudder!) Ebay, as a Classified ad'. I want to sell it asap and find something more suitable. I have no money so I'll be looking at a Semi-Project sort of deal. I still want simple, an MZ would be ideal, but I can only add a tiny bit of cash to the Moby' to buy anything.
I've put it up at £700.00. If it were via EACC, or another appreciation type group, I would look at £LESS in cash/bank transfer.
Other point, if anybody has a geared moped, manual gears, I'd be interested in deals?
Edit to add:- SOLD to Good People today.
