Does it start? - looks like the ignition switch is missing
What made you buy that? - sold mine in 1981 |

No record of it on the DVLA site.....probably not taxed since before 1980 hence not on the register.
Worth doing though - that's if the frame is solid. For the record it was registered in Dewsbury.

Amal TT's,a Spitfire was faster than a Bonne T120 in the day although guess a Thruxton Bonne would be quicker,and of course the Trumpets looked better/ faster  |

Years ago, I would have agreed about a Bonnie looking better than the Beeza but now, Bonnies look a bit boring compared to the A65. Who can say no to a go-faster humped seat? And as for handling?  ? And dare I say it, I've got a soft spot for the C90s as well. I wonder if the wife would like a new front door! |
