1969 K0 diecast

11/1969 K0 diecast barn find, unsiezed, £3,999 from the frog dude.

The wrinkle tank appears to have taken a direct hit with a cannon round, but that's the yanks for you. worth saving but it would be a hell of a patch. Recessed ignition switch, battered but correct clocks. 5.00 x 16 back wheel, shot pipes. Engine cases are chromed and peeling but strippable I guess. Last taxed 1982 from the plate.

Bar operated carbs, I believe correct for a later K0, no number given.

A bit of a mess, but he hasn't been at it with the easy start, DK would've. Could be a good resto project if you had the time and  parts.

I wonder if the bullet is still in the tank?

Yes at least 8 needed to make it correct
But most people seen to go with non correct easy available parts now
