To say I was surprised when i saw it was an understatement, it was a mess, bits of tinware were fished out of a very tumble down shed in the back garden with the engine in a wheelbarrow with a poly sheet over, as I had come a fair distance with transport I haggled a much better price and took the whole lot away.

Surprisingy most of it was there but all had to be re grit blasted with new wheel rims and S/S spokes new handle bars, exhaust system and new suspension dampers, and of course a complete repaint in its original colour the engine was no better needed new bearings a rebore and new seals the centre seal on the crank shaft had been badly damaged by whoever 'overhauled ' the engine.

I did manage to recover the original registration number from and old tax disc that was at the bottom of one of the many boxes that it came in.
