..British made Marlboro Zapper, I swapped my DB Pro Star for 1 of these when I was a kid. Frame had the seat post stuck and needed plenty of preparation ready for painting. I restored the Z rims as they were battered when I got them, its got the same parts that I can remember that I had. Ive done this as a custom job as the original finish and decals are shite ;D
I wont tell you who did the decals as you lot will start pestering him, he knows who he is...much appreciated bumder :bellend:
This will probably be the last bike I build..here it is.. my custom built Marlboro Zapper..
