New from Gothenburg, Sweden
« on: October 10, 2026, 07:34:10 PM »
Hi all. Was looking for a winter project and found a 1975 CB500 Four close by. It is rough, been standing since 2001 in a farm shed but only 3 owners and 25000km:s. Almost complete but 4-1 system. Will probably take more than one winter but will probably do original restauration.

Welcome Tommi.  500 looks good, looks tidier than my daily ride  ;D

This picture was taken after a 170 mile trip to the Long Mynd in Shropshire last month.  Went back the same day.

Welcome to the forum Tommi. Do I spy a Mini in the background?

With a right hand petrol tank on the Mini, in the UK that would be the twin tank Cooper S version.

Might be for left hand drive they fitted right hand tank only.

Thanks all. The Mini is from beginning a 1965 Austin 850. I bought it 1973, 15 years old to drive on ice tracks, this was in Finland. During the 53 years i owned it lots has happened, 1293cc heavily tuned engine, MG Metro 4 pot ventilated brakes modified to fit 10" wheels, colour chance 3 times, Connolly interior and much more.
