Vintage trike
Hi, I’ve ended up with/inherited an old trike from my mum when she recently moved house,
was wondering if you had any idea if it is worth restoring or not? I’ve no idea if something like this is really worth anything at all?
Any opinions greatly appreciated,
Buddy

Forgot to add, It looks like a Raleigh Winkie to me, if that helps you to work out anything about it.
Just the kinda of items I specialise in.
Looks like a great base to do restoration from. Get in touch and we could discuss it.

I think you could do something fantastic with that. A re-spray might be good - have a look for Death Spray Custom. I bet they'd relish the chance to do something with this. You could swap the chain out for a drive belt, maybe. It really depends on whether you think you'd use a cargo bike (as this might now be categorised) or not, and, if so, how much you're willing to pay to get it into tip-top shape. I would, but I'd be putting new brakes on it before I did anything else.
