Yes :),+ a complete set of unused original sinclair tires
although  they are some minors repairs,rust and of course a good cleaning but that's normal
I do not have a battery 12V 30 A
so I did not test the motor yet, nor the others electronics parts

You should be able to fit a 45Ah 12V battery type 49 under the battery cover(use Ford Transit type battery terminals to connect to the battery cover)

He might be referring to these, not sure if they are known as Transit type terminals, but they work for me  ;)
