CHAPTER
ONE - 5
I think it’s a disease that we
all get at times called ‘Jackdaw syndrome’. All of these items
have been carefully placed into old matchboxes and cigar tins.
It gets you thinking and recognising the same behaviour that we
all do when keeping old bits, thinking that someday it will come
in useful, but actually they’re not a lot of use, but we keep it
anyway just in case someday you think, ah, I’ve got something
that will fit that. Of course this never happens?

The tank is the one item
that has not been painted as yet, but it still is in
very good condition. The key for the toolbox was sitting
in it along with the steering lock keys. The inside of
the fuel tank looks like it has been lined and I think
that re-spraying it was the next stage.
I’m told that it is rare
to have the white banding round the tank, it is very
discoloured but I shall try and do something with it. |

Both wheels are matched
and painted green with gold spokes; each spoke adjuster
has been painted black which, looks quite good and I may
try and keep this feature.
Around the rim on both sides are painted a black, blue
and white stripe, if this is the original wheel I shall
attempt to keep this, as it is quite attractive.

Carefully wrapped in material and newspapers is the
front mudguard, this I think has been re-sprayed and a
teardrop light attached. Combined with the white side
with black and gold striping the whole wing looks good.
The newspapers are dated
1985; perhaps that’s how long it has been wrapped up?
