I have a copy of Marks Corvett Register which would indicate 12 still existing in various states of repair.I have since come accross one or two more and I suspect there will be others in the back of sheds or garages across the UK. I hope we can improve the information about remaining machines and update the register through this forum. These Corvetts are know still to exist in the UK. Are they yours if so it would be good to hear from you This one is my corvette now in restoration which can be seen above in the restoration section. This one is T &T belongs to Mark Who has two others waiting a rebuild. This one for sale in Belfast Hope it goes to a good home and is restored This one owned by the present owner 30 years T&T and still goes to events This is Richs Herc I will add more pictures when he makes his posting.

If you do not have the pictures on the web already go to Photobucket and create an account. (free) photobucket.comWhen you have your account there is an upload button . when you have uploaded your picture to photobucket you will see an image code at the bottom of your picture copy that and paste into your posting here. Sounds complicated but it is very easy. Great to get find another corvette owner on the forum.Gary Rich if you have difficulty post your text and e mail me the pictures and I will add them for you.

Hi I have been abroad for some time and not been keeping an eye on the forum. It is great to see another I was beginning to think no one else was interested in the corvett. Hope to see some more pictures as you progress. Gary

Hi I have been abroad for some time and not been keeping an eye on the forum. It is great to see another I was beginning to think no one else was interested in the corvett. Hope to see some more pictures as you progress. Gary Thanks, I have Removed the Engine (Seized Solid). Mark Daniels has managed to Free it up for me, Currently Fitting New Piston Rings as they are Worn. Mark is Also recovering the Original Reg for me. The Rear Wheel was Missing when I got it, so adapting a Mobylette/Raleigh Wheel to fit. I hope to have the Bike Running Next Week. Maybe when I have the Bike in a Decent Condition we Could all Meet up at a Rally. Martin.

I am still having problems with my corvette will not restart when hot. When I get the time I intend to take it down to mark and get it properly fixed. Then perhaps I can get it out in the spring.

:Hello folks, I just happened to come across a 1960 or so Hercules. I did not know what it was but like bikes so bought it. The owner had it for 35 years and used to ride it. They found it in the dump here in Calgary about 1975. Its missing some parts but should run. I'll post photos.

Almost a Year on and my Hercules Corrvette is Nearly Ready for the Road! The Engine had broken a Piston Ring and Scored the Bore but not Badly, Mopedland had new Rings in Stock! Mark Daniels Managed to Weld a New Front Brake Plate Stop on the Front Suspension to Allow the Mobylette front Wheel to be Used. Im having Trouble getting the Correct Drive Belt and Awaiting Gurtner Carburettor Parts from Ebay France!
