Christmas Cheer!

Who needs a sleigh when you have a Mobylette?


A customer kindly sent me a picture of his restored Mobylette complete with Santa. He also kindly gave positive feedback on the service that he has received from Classic Moped Spares.



"Thank you for your recent excellent service. I attach a pic of how it looks at present"



If you want to restore your Santa Mobylette Transport then don't go to the North Pole, just visit www.classicmopedspares.com



Merry Christmas

NEW Haynes Manual For Sale on Amazon for £3000! Bargain at Classic Moped Spares

NEW Haynes Manual on Amazon for £3000!


As at 17/12/2013 16:25

There are Mobylette Haynes Manual for Sale on Amazon for £3000 each. Sounds like a bargain?
Even the lowest used copies on Amazon are £35 each! Compare this to New copies I have for sale priced at below £20! 

An exclusive limited number of NEW Mobylette Haynes Manuals are available for sale from Classic Moped Spares for less than £20 each new. This offer is subject to availability. 

The manuals are priced reasonably so that genuine Mobylette owners can work on their machines as I know from experience how restorations can be costly. I also have other mobylette related manuals available for sale on the website which will help with identifying part numbers; essential when ordering spares.

I have a large range of moped parts to be advertised next year and a manual will help find what you need quickly and save a lot of time. They also look good on the shelf!


The Haynes Mobylette Manual covers a number of models such as:-

Mobylette, Cady, Commuter, Duamatic, Luxamatic, Majorett, Majormatic, Mastermatic, Minor, Major, Moby X, Mono, 50, Mk2, Sport, Speciale, Mopeds

The manuals is also very useful for other bikes fitted with mobylette engines such as Raleigh Mopeds. This workshop manual is essential if you are working on Raleigh Mopeds, such as the RM 4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12, Runabout and Wisp.

'Haynes Owners Workshop Manuals for Motorcycles are written with the home mechanic in mind who does not have the luxury of a well equipped workshop nor factory service tools. Each manual covers a well defined model rang of motorcycles. A second hand example is purchased and is used as the basis for the manual. Before overhaul begins the author understakes considerable research into the model range and modification history talking with manufacturers, dealers, repair specialists and riders'

Malcolmraleigh on ebay changes name to Classic Moped Spares to keep corporate identity

Classic Moped Spares trades on ebay and own website

Historically Classic Moped Spares traded under the name malcolmraleigh on ebay. As at the 11th December 2013, the user name 'malcolmraleigh' has been removed from ebay. 

To avoid confusion and in keeping with the Company Strategy it was decided that the name Classic Moped Spares should be used and the name malcolmraleigh no longer be used. 

Many of you will have bought products from the malcolmraleigh brand and the aim is to continue under Classic Moped Spares, but still maintain the high levels of delivery, customer service and product quality. 

Classic Moped Spares is now an established brand worldwide and as such is somewhere you can buy from with confidence through ebay or www.classicmopedspares.com.  The website operates with up to date policies, terms and conditions and a secure payment gateway.

I would like to thank all customers for their support from buying from me through, ebay or direct through the website www.classicmopedspares.com and www.classicmopedspares.co.uk or through other sales venues. It is thanks to your continued support that Classic Moped Spares will be able to grow in 2014 to provide further products to help moped owners with their restorations.

I would also like to thank those members from clubs worldwide whom without your enthusiasm many of these machines would not survive today. Your continued support in buying from Classic Moped Spares will help ensure that the legacy of these little machines continues long into the future.

For more updates on what is happening in 2014 please visit the website or visit the blog.

Classic Moped Spares stocks up in France and Europe!

Classic Moped Spares trip across the Channel Poole to Cherbourg

A successful trip was had at the beginning of December 2013, by a quick hop across the channel from Poole to Cherbourg, France and Europe. I was a bit late arriving back on the 3rd December due to a long chat with customs regarding the goodies being brought back into England. Perhaps they are also moped fans? A most successful and enjoyable journey was had by all, however I was a bit tired after the many hours of driving. 

The Ferry gave me time to recharge my batteries and reflect on how much fantastic hospitality I received from the French people that I met. Fantastique Voyage!

The vehicle was close to being full and some who know me would say probably with a large collection of complete bikes and parts probably, mobylette mopeds; there was however a distinctive aroma of cheese and wine oozing from the windows!




Apologies for my photography, I should have got more pictures of the scenery but then time was of the essence!

Merci pour la lecture!
