If you recall during a previous conversation I mentioned he's got it from a
dealers round your way that began with a C and you suggest Coopers BMW (?)
.... I was chatting with the mate of his who went with him to collect it and

hadn't been converted for use by my uncle at that point, while my uncle
drove back following in his BMW Isetta :)

Blimey! They even made their own bikes!
