hi just thought u might like to see pic of my uncles bike which he bought new in 1972. it should be gold but he got black tank and panels because his tank got damagedwhen something hanging in the garage fell on it  so its all been sent to be resprayed I think its been done once and wasn't happy so took it to someone else.  |

Aye, that`s a lot better. yes its nice to see something not restored just well looked after from new,ican remember going to stay with him when he was based in Abingdon it was the year the MG factory shut down 80 or 81 I think , he took me round on a tour of factory one day then we went to Silverstone to watch allsorts of car racing on the bike and remember we ran out of fuel anh had to push bike to nearest fuel station,no mobiles back then lol |
