There is quite an interesting story around this. I had been asking around for one for a while when an American lad messaged me to say he might know of one but it was a bit of a long shot. It turns out he sort of knew a massive hoarder and had been trying to get a look at his stuff for a while with no luck. He told me the hoarder never sells owt and not to expect to hear anything so I sort of gave up.

A few weeks later I got a message to say he had managed to talk the hoarder into letting him look around and he would get some photos if he could. Again he reiterated that a purchase was highly unlikely.

Tha next I heard was an excited message about what the hoarder had. Apparently every room of his house was waste deep in bikes and bits, all old school and most of it interesting stuff. This guy was one of those types you see on channel 4 programmes who has to crawl through little rabbit holes of stuff in his house. Stuff everywhere and probably alot of it he doesn't remember bringing home.

My contact seemed to think a purchase might be possible with a bit of coaxing so I asked him to keep me posted.

5 days later i get a load of pics of the visage along with a few other nice framesets he had managed to pick up including a tidy DB Mike Dominguez  :)

Word got out after the end of my visage was seen in the back of a shot in one of his museum posts and he was inundated with requests about it.

luckily he was a top lad and stuck with the price we had agreed. Packaged the visage up a treat and it was here in under a week  :daumenhoch:

Jaymz:
Syuperb score clint, let me know on the decals bud. I can send the visage logo to you to get the ball rolling if need be

Already looking forward to this.  :)
Normally I would say survivor. If it had an oxy bath and the paint chips painted in, then with a very fine sand, would it look o.k? :-\ Could be worth a try if you have the patience and time.  :-\
But it maybe better suited to a full restoration. Either way this will be super cool when done.  8)  :coolsmiley:
