I am looking into the history of a Hull Honda dealer who was one of the very 1st to sell Hondas in the UK via Maico/Hondis, so I revisited the site below.

I could spend the day reading all this but obviously that won't go down well with the o/h (and MGP is on the TV!).
Thanks for posting.
Cheers
Dave

In old magazines I have there are a few full page adverts chronicling that era.
