More new publications added into the Technical Library.

S 3800 MBK handbook - Italian text

Firstly, we have added an S 3800 MBK Owners’ Handbook in Italian into the non English section. It was put together from a set of photographs (rather than scans from the original) and although the end result is not as perfect as I would have liked, it is still very useable.

The second addition will have a limited appeal but only because it is for the rare folding version of the Solex 5000, the PliSolex. Produced in the early 1970's, it is believed only a few thousand were made. The engine could be completely separated from the main frame and then the frame folded in half for ease of transportation, storage, etc.. Although they were usually only made in orange, it in known a small batch of blue were also produced. The original French 5000 PliSolex supplement has now been translated into English and both language versions are to be found in the Library.

Please note: There is also a French website dedicated entirely to the PliSolex at https://paacsolex-87.webself.net/accueil and the webmaster, Marc, urges anyone with a PliSolex to contact him so that it can be added to the list he is compiling.
