YES it is :) believe it belonged to eaamon on here. got it from the guy he sold it too, and as far as i can work out from ANY pictures, it is the one in the sept'85 magazine test. infact, i cant find a single pic of another one! maybe the only one?

when i ebay i go big or go home ;D

gonna get it all stripped down first, give it a bloody good going over and maybe give the OG paint a good t-cut and clean and see how it looks from there.  bars have quite a bit of paint missing, and odd scuffs and scrapes with a little rust showing through. may even go full blown resto as as far as i can find, it might be the only one!
