CB750 SS Honda Britain

Gouldie:
Are there many of you gents or ladies out there with one of these bikes left ?
I have an 1981 reg CB750SS. The story goes there were 250 of these built because the original 400 bikes earmarked as Phil Read replicas were cut short to 150 because Mr Read got no royalties ! Honda Britan said they would be delighted to have a bike named after there racing team and so the bike was built. Mr Sealy of Brighton UK built them as were the Read replicas.
I have spent many hours playing and although the engine has had a number of performance enhancements the bike is still basically as it left Brighton.
Anyone with one of these machines I would be very greatful to hear from you. I will also post an original sales brochure for all to see ( once I have found it here in my study !! ).
Gouldie.
P.s. There is still a local company in my town who can manufacture Phil Read and Honda Britain fairing screens ! Keep in touch !

Gouldie,
I have a V reg PRR in my garage, it is owned by a mate of mine. The story as you said is that only 150 PRR were made as Read had a falling our with Mr Honda. Honda than finished the rest of the bikes as Honda Britains. I know where there is another PRR and a Honda Britain not far from me, they are both for sale.
Useful that there is a place near you that cam make the 'hard' bits to get hold of? Where is that?
I live near Camberley, where are you from?
Jim.

Gouldie:
I live in Weymouth, the South coast. You may have heard of Skidmark who make fairings, well they actually made the windscreens for Seeley ! And they still have the screen mould.

jimshea:
That's a bit of a result; knowing how fragile the screens are!
Have you had the bike long?
Jim.
