Re: 29/30 2LITRE

I wrote the date as 29/3...

RUSTY ROVER

Hello All. Thought it was about time to send in a couple of photos off a very rusty motorcycle found in and bought from a scrapyard. The owner bought it when he was 16, he is now in his early 70s.

In the Essex area we have several companies that can do this, Smiths in Basildon, Field Engineering London and Gosnays in Romford. Or do you want someone to strip and rebuild the ...
