Historic status.
Johnny4428:
Another hits the 40+ mark. Might as well put it on the road, it’s not going to cost anything. Went to local post office to apply for historic status fully expecting to pay the road tax and then having to claim it back when the historic status changes. Pleasantly surprised when I came away with twelve months road tax without paying anything. Happy days!

WOW! She looks stunning. I remember them coming out, it's sobering to think they now have historic status. :'(

Yes she is lovely
What’s more sobering is the price of them now, especially 2t bikes like the RD and FS1E
An Rd350lc was about £1200 in 1981 but now bikes that are fully restored are selling for £9k and up and the price is still rising

Seeing that C90 reminded me of my best mate at the time when I was at Tech College in the late 60's he had one that he commuted back home from Derby to Wales on at weekends during the summer!
I had to make do with my scooter until I graduated to a Ariel Leader!
