Hello everyone

I have a Kart that’s been in the family for 40 years, I was told that it was a DART or a MARGAY frame, it seems to be modified in some places but the frame itself looks good.

I would like to restore it, I bought a JLO 98cc from the 60’s to go with the kart but other than that I don’t know Jack about it.

If anyone has an idea of what this is, please let me know

Thanks

It's a 60/61 Hornet S85. Yours is the third one currently known to exist.

If you call Richard Peck, 254.744.2568, his Family owned Hornet Karts and he can verify whether it is a Hornet or not.
And, if it is... He'll be able to tell you anything you want to know about the kart, and more..
Good Luck..
Rick
