I convinced my wife to let my 4yo (well, nearly 5yo) son restore his first dolomite!

It's a pimento red 1978 1850HL, I attached a quick pic! I am so proud.

It looks like the body panels are easily replaceable! :D

Fortunately it came with loads of spare parts and replacement panels; amazingly, most even in the correct shade of pimento!

I have a slight suspicion that dad this build this one. If not i suggest you buy an overall size small and let son start repairing the 1:1 scale. And if he does have a bagagedrager on his bike he can pick up the o/d box from me to start with. :mrgreen:
