Yes, in the same way this was designed with the look of the General Lee:

Thats what I thought at 1st but the seat and wheels are Bernadi-Mozzi-Motor of Bologna, Italy & as daft as it sounds when you look at the seat you can see how it does resemble the car ( side vents etc ). Thought I'd ask as I remember someone mentioning it some where.

Post by: kidretro on March 15, 2012, 09:18 AM: Lew-ways stinger aero looking sorry for it's self after not seeing daylight in years, had been banged up in a container (http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh567/retr0rob/aaa034.jpg) Quick wash, T-cut , polish with autosol & car wax it came up quite clean, replaced the flakey brakes & crank (http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh567/retr0rob/aaa102.jpg) Looking to change those tyres as showing signs of age but still have loads of tread and are the originals.

Post by: Discostu on March 15, 2012, 09:30 AM: Looking great! Now get it out on one of the ride outs. It's good to see survivors from all makes whether they are expensive hutches or cheaper catalogue bikes. They all have a place in our bmx history. To some 30-40 year old this bike was his Christmas or birthday present and you can imagine the excitement ripping off the wrapping paper. A feeling you can never replace! :daumenhoch:
