Not new but a nice find on eBay. I've never seen this Birel sponsored Ninco Kart before but unbelievably, two appeared on eBay at once.

I snapped this one up at a fourth the price of the 'new boxed' item and since it's going to be run, who needs the box! 

As shown in the seller's pic's, it was missing the exhaust but as it's just a push fit, not heat sealed in place, it was easily added from a donor.  

The only other issue was the gear mesh being a little notchy. The first thought was damaged teeth but thankfully, on closer inspection, it turned out it was just dirt between two of the teeth on the crown and one on the pinion. Cleaned out with a jewellers screwdriver it's now nice and smooth.

I've been slowly picking these up to make a full grid of six. One more to go - but so far this is my favourite.
