Hi RickyC3, i am down near skegness, restoration will have to wait until winter, luckily engine is purfect he always changed the oil religiosly every yeay and its only got just over 30,000 on the clock and is running like a purring kitten.  main work will be stripping and getting frame and swinging arm done and a few minor cycle parts I intend to keep it like my father in law had it not 100% original but how he had it over 42 years.
