Title: Quite a few 500K0's popping up on eBay
Post by: AshimotoK0 on August 24, 2017, 01:07:30 AM: Second one says registered 1/71 ... don't think that is quite right. They always seem to have flattened profile on the seat cover though which lets them down a bit. That K0 seat actually looks stunning when it has the 'plumped up' profile. Gold one has Menno's paint according to description.

They are Bryan that's why there is no way the second one (green) can be a 1/71 reg or build date.

Funny I was thinking that myself Julie ...it's got JamesH's signature features all over it. Plus if you look at sellers business details he's registered as Brighton.

BTW, I reckon the Aussies will get trounced by Bangladesh in the upcoming tests there. :-[
