Have you sent the seller a message to piss on his bonfire Graham? ;)
Nope, not contacted the seller as, i seem to upset Yorkshire men very easy ;D
I put it on as a buyer beware, because for that kind of money it should be totally correct ;)
And it depends on when the build date was to whether the engine is the correct type for a UK unit.

Did they retain the same earlier forks and front mudguard throughout the UK K2 series up to the introduction of the K6 in 1976?
The engine No looks to start 22900*** which would be correct for a 73? The registration date is given as 29/08/1973.

Front end was changed on the UK K2's for the late 1974/1975 units. IF the engine starts with 22900*** then, it is a very late 1973 engine and with the date of reg that would of been manufactured some 6 months before. The head even for a 1973 would have the different fins ;)

It's a nice bike, maybe not for the purists, but at the starting bid of £17500 surely he's having a laugh. ::)
