This blog records the restoration of a 1961 IWL SR59 Berlin scooter; a two-seater, 150cc two stroke scooter built in East Germany between 1959 and 1962.
May I also suggest the Yahoo groups - there is an IWL group (very quiet) and a German scooter group (quite active). http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/iwl/?yguid=319050899 & http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/germanscooterclub/?yguid=319050899
Hi Paul. I only just found your comments - thanks for this.
As it happens, the Berlin is now complete. It's sat outside the house looking very shiny in the sun. I should have kept this blog updated, but you know how it goes...
I have mostly been using for errands around the local area, but last weekend a friend and I rode our scooters (his, a modern Vespa) about 140 miles. Was good fun.
