Welcome ! I think I linked the sale on here when it first came up recently. And I remember when it featured very early on in the Motorbike Show... seem to remember they  fitted one of those horrid  'generic replacement' front mudguards to it at the time.

The restorer was Pete Thorne..... Last I heard he was in the nick. Probably out now though. I actually met him at Stafford once and seemed like a really nice bloke.

Still not 100% right despite having the reconditioned carb set on it…. Just treated the rust in the tank with Rostio followed by the emulsion stuff…. Got the tank back on this morning….

Henry must have liked it to keep it for 4 years 🤓
