Was it by any chance canary yellow, or was it parakete yellow? Mine was horrible, a ford escort ran into the back of it whilst I was stopped at a roundabout. Wrote it off fortunately. Bought an RD350 with the insurance money, worst to best in one move.

The only ones I ever saw were Yellow although didn't they do them in red also? A friend had one, it was like a budget version of its forerunner the G5. Am I right in saying they took the electric starter off to save weight?

I may be wrong as it was 1978 but I don't recall there being a starter. However I do recall it being a large dog pile. I think it was possibly the slowest 250 ever.

Great article, good find. I agree with the appraisal whole heartedly. I was so pleased when the insurance company wrote it off, says everything really.

My thoughts on the Cj250 were.
Want a 750 but can't afford the insurance?
Well have a 750 f1 with a 250 engine it.
I have seen restored ones. Why would anyone restore something. That should never have been built?
