That's it! I thought Arundel too, so it was definitely somewhere in that area!
It's a stunning piece of architecture.

I found another one ...looks really cute! But I guess if you take the cost of a 'project' like this and add the cost of shiny new bits/ plating/ chroming and a Honda key-ring, then the other one looks ballpark. It's just odd to call it time warp rather than fully restored. Potentially you could run the project bike with the rust (I would) as that is far more time warp!

Buying fully restored can definely cost less but you loose the joy & angst of the build

I think they call it Time Warp as you'd instantly be transported back to the 70s as soon as you saw or sat on it.

I think it means reach for those rose tinted glasses.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

The true meaning of time warp is only understood by old minds that have become warped due to the passage of time known as ageing.
Nostalgia gives us those rose tinted specs so we only see the good for fleeting moments. These time blips last fractions of a second as our memories travel at warp speed from present to past then back to the present.😎😎😎
