Assuming that you can still get the Berkely 3 weelers, which from your purchase you obviously can, I don`t think you will have to run it in to carefully, those old villiers engines needed a good thrashing!

Not many cars need complicated running procedures in now days. I had a new VW diesel and all I had to do was keep the rev's below a limit for the first 500 miles or so.

Did not need an oil change or "look at" until the automatic service schedule light came on .... 18,400 miles later

Did drink about 3 ltr of oil in the first 10,000 mile until everything bedded in.
