Could be interested Ian, if it will fit a 550f frame - tank that is!

[Orcade-Ian]

Hi Johnny,
Not sure if it would fit, the 550 has quite a bridge in the middle - someone on here might know but you are welcome to try!

Ian, just reading a bit about it and thinking that I’d probably be better sourcing a 550 tank. So if there’s someone else on here that might be interested rather than wasting time so you can hopefully move them on. Thanks.

[Orcade-Ian]

Hi Johnny,
I have the original tank from my orange 550 - it would need a repair on the left side (pin holes) Frankie Bain might let a piece in for you.  It's free for the taking - yippee, even more space in the shed!

That sounds like a possibility Ian, FB is the man! I’ll hopefully be out west soon on a mission.

[Orcade-Ian]

Anytime Johnny,
Ring first just in case.  We will hopefully be out Saturday after lunch into the great metropolis, so I could drop it off, unless you are out this way meantime.

Still for sale:
This is what it looked like with them on - perhaps not for the purists?

    It makes it look quite GB500TT ish.

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

Never mind the purists Ian they look very nice on your 400.

Who said GB500TT??

This was my GB400TT in the same colour scheme, which prompted me to do a kit for the 400/4

I agree, quite like the colour scheme reminds me of my smoking days JPS!

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

There used to be a Lotus Twin Cam Europa Special in BoT circa 1972/3 in those JPS colours it really suited the odd rear end shape.

   I quite fancied one for a long time but they rarely came up for sale.

[Orcade-Ian]

Ted, that's a lovely looking Europa - FAT Hull reg too!  Don't remember the car though - wonder if Ash does? 
I sold mine Moorey to a chap in our Jag and VJMC clubs - he still has it too.  I then got a GB500TT in that Burgundy colour.  I still think the 400 was better than the 500.  With the kickstart operated decompression system, my party trick was starting the 500 by hand on the kickstart - try doing that with a 500 Goldie!
