Blimey - is that mileage right?
What a nice little find.
There is a bloke with one of these in mint nick who exhibits it at Stafford - I think his one is black and gold - also seen the same chap in a mag recently - seems to be an active owners club for them.
There was the MB5 and MT5 from memory.....T being the trial version.

Nothing would surprise me Loz .... I did,nt have my mb5 too long I part swapped it for a yam rd 80lc as soon as i was 17 ,much preferred that rwb 13x , it was very slow , should be great though with the extra cc,s you,ve got planned ....

nice find Loz. looks a nice project. only issue with these is the wheels I think - they don't come apart for rechroming the rims.
The USA version was unrestricted and goes quite well, 55mph. I do like those panniers!

I think that is a keeper restorable and the panniers are a bonus! no doubt the pannier patrol will comment on them lol!
