Looks nice but maybe has painted over gaskets?
 Also has a GS 750 which looks a bit like the one I should have bought from proper bikes a couple of years back with additional disc and a 4 into one.

 Now thinking it's not the one I looked at. Was the  'been featured in magazines' bit that got me thinking because the one i looked at definitely was featured in classic bikes. The  bike at proper bikes was unrestored and still had the original exhaust system on it.

Do you recall how much £ the gs at proper bikes was?

Yes. Think it was  £4750 which I thought at the time was a bit too much. Nice bloke  but not short of a few bob so wasn't much chance of any haggling.

Beautiful bike, such a shame it's in that bloody awful wasp and fly attracting yellow though!
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Easy enough to change the colour to red . It's been restored so I  wouldn't worry too much about originality.
