They are not the same bike one is a '67 with flip-front seat,chrome side cover fasteners etc. He maybe had probs as described with the 66 and got a 67 via DS not sure.

Here he is one the eBay bike (note black fastener on cover and UK guard) It was owned by a VJMC member from Ipswich before DS got it.

MrDavo:
Hard to see in that picture Ash. but are those the same B&Q hose clips he's trying to hide with his leg?
Nurse Julie:
I know diddly squat about these Bombers but the one on eBay has got a different tank on it, no seam down the middle, the one James May is on has the seam on the tank and the eBay one has also got one of those strange seat logo's supplied by the chap in Canada IIRC. What is it about these bikes, are they so very rare and has James May owned all of them?
Edit, I think I can see a ridge on the one on eBay...

I think that you will find that the seller of this 450 carries out work on DS imported bikes when a customer wants them "on the road".
Nice people - I've visited a couple of times and they seem very genuine.

Just to add more confusion ..totally different James May auctioned CB450K0 (E reg not D reg)

I think the shot of the flip front seat one was a library shot from another auction in 2009:
