Anyone win this "NOS" tank?

Menno:
A NOS tank with new innercoating.
I've never seen this kind of lining before.

I think it is not a NOS tank.

Just joined the group and seen this post. It was my tank that I sold and it went via the GSP to I think Dominican Republic. I assure you all it was brand new, it has been in my possession for about 25 years and most definitely wasn't resprayed or refurbished. I was surprised by the tank lining but wasn't complaining, it was as stated, in perfect condition. About 25 years ago I was incredibly lucky enough to buy a job lot of brand new bagged 500/4 parts that came from a garage clearance after a dealer went bust. I literally built an almost brand new bike, but already had a decent tank so kept this one as spare. It was the sort of thing you can only dream about.

And the rear mudguard was CB 500 too.

Btw what does "NOS" mean?

New Old Stock

Maybe the dealer had it resprayed and never used it.
