April 1971 500/4 for anyone?

(1/3) > >>

If anyone is looking, there is a low mileage (14k) 'ride or restore' in Freddie the Fat Frogs website and it seems to still be for available. Isn't April a very early model?  ...Sadly I'm not allowed it...   All 4pipes and a tank like new inside. 

I'm sure there's a flaw that I haven't spotted?

That needs a lot of expensive, not easy to get parts and looks to be a bit of a bitsa, im sure the one side panel badge says 550

florence:
If it hasn't been running in all that time, an engine strip and rebuild will be necessary and the same with the carbs, but if you don't mind footling about it might be good.  I am probably out of touch but £2000 for a non runner with holes in the exhaust pipes seems like a lot of money.

andy120t:
I must be too optimistic....If it turns over it'll run. Plus I don't mind a bit of 'patina' !

I hadn't spotted the 550 badges ! Lesson to self - pay more attention.

Aren't those exhausts hard to come by though- even if they need repairing?
