Thanks for that information, mine was registered April 71, frame no 1035029 engine a few digits after so makes it a later batch I think. It's in pieces and I need quite a bit to put it tiger so wanted the correct spec for it. It has the wrong airbox at the moment.

Some late ones 'known as K0' and transition between K0 & K1  did have the later airbox and linked carbs but those numbers were VIN 1044826 to 1044947 for UK bikes, so yours isn't one of those,

Good luck with your quest. I know which bike you purchased. That'll be a lovely bike if restored correctly to the correct original UK spec but I think it will be a fairly long and expensive restoration as quite a few major parts are incorrect for that model. UK model parts are notoriously impossible to find.
Whereabouts in UK are you?
Edit.... Forgot to say forum member JamesH restored a pair of UK K0's, we restored the engines for him. If I can find the thread, I'll post a link, it has excellent photographic reference to the finished bikes and James it a meticulous restorer.

East Yorkshire, yep I know it will be expensive and take time but I've been after a UK one for a while and have saved for years. Hopefully I won't be a pain in the neck asking stupid question but   initially wanted specification and a bit of history on it.

I'm sure you won't be a pain in the neck 😊😊😊😊.
Just do the bike justice by doing a proper restoration and it's great that you've got what you've longed for.

Yep I could have bought a couple of running bikes from that well known bike importer but just wanted a UK one. Any help would be appreciated, in fact I might just buy another running one to learn off!  It's totally different to my Venoms and triumph but I'm up for a challenge.

Maybe even 3 bikes from that well known bike importer 😁😁😁😁. But, there is something special about UK models. You will get plenty of people telling you all the bikes came from Japan, regardless of where in the world they ended up, so being a UK model means nothing but I strongly disagree with that. All our CBSOHC/4' are UK models, including all the early 750/4's we've restored and sold recently, they are a challenge for sure due to parts availability but half the fun of a restoration is spending months either refurbishing ultra rare parts or trying to source OEM NOS parts from an ever dwindling supply with ever increasing price tags.
