Blue 1975. Tatty tank and side panels, nice shiny motad pipe (am I bad
that I prefer the nose on these?), engine seems to be fine!
Nice shiny chrome mudguards and chain guard. Side reflectors :)
A years MOT and the brakes work. Just needs a polish really.

The idea was to nick the good bits, break and sell the rest but I just
know I'm going to end up owning two..................

I happen to have a very nice tank and panel set. They've been resprayed
in red, but the colour isn't quite right, and he's used the wrong year
of side panel decals. There are one or two minute bubbles in the tank
paint, too.

So for a proper restoration, they need complete refinishing again. But
to smarten up a tatty bike, they'd be perfect.

I've got them listed to start on eBay on 1 August. For you, my son, I
could stop the auction before it starts, if you want them.
