Hi, i used to own several Solexes 3800 export from 1985, but i ran into this delightful old Koffertje, i could not resist.

I run the Swedish www.solexine.se forum, but nobody on the forum owns a dutch Solex and can supply any info about them.
Almost all Solexes in Sweden are 3800 Export from 1985, assembled at the Cykelfabriken in Lomma, southern Sweden.
The Koffertje is intact and working even if rusty, i do not plan a complete overhaul, just some wax and love, so i´ll ride it as it is.
The front side-mudgards and the chain protection are gone, as well as the gas-command spokes, but it is otherwise complete.
No idea how old it is or what the model´s name exactely is...
Anybody is welcome on our forum!
Greetings from Sweden!

It looks as if i really need exploded views and maybe a manual to fix this thing, i cannot find any documents about it... Anybody?
Thanks in advance!
Bruno

Thank you Robert!

Please have a look at our starting page, there are several drop down menu's that can be used to extract usefull information.
Exploded views are available over there as well as listed numbers of engines which are THE guidance to determin the age of Dutch manufactured solex-es

as an example use exploded views

A few pics around the motor:

Thank you for the information Joan, i´ll be looking it up!

Good luck with it Bruno. When its ready you have something special. A real Dutch bike.

It's a pretty rare utility model with its original black rims and black handlebars.
Doesn't it have a small chain protector ?

Indeed, it is the so called "spaarmodel" ( save you the money)
A cheap version of "het koffertje" ( small suitcase) so without the suitcase, which is the nick name for the little tool holder at the place of the footrest.
The toolholder is replaced by an aluminum stamped plate, to save on money the chrome plating is disgarded in favour of painting. It should have rare pedals with the solex brand name on it.

There are some pictures of this specific one on our "fotoalbum" I have made these because a friend om mine owns a "mint" one

"spaarmodel"

As you can see there is no chain guard but merely a small piece of metal
