Title: Got one at last.. Just picked up this
Post by: Del on September 04, 2007, 09:29 PM: I spotted this on ebay and thought sod it I'm having this one! I'm wondering who else spotted what it was? Shame it doesnt have the original forks, but I'm still happy.
Anyway I've just been to pick it up and looks like the chrome underneath the paint is ok, so another session of nitromors, oxalic and autosol this weekend for me!
This is my last one (unless I find an FST) honest!

Post by: Moose on September 05, 2007, 07:59 AM: About £263 if I remember right wasn't it Del?

I was tempted to have a punt myself and was watching in the dying seconds, but decided to save my pennies for something else.

Not a bad buy in all :daumenhoch:

Post by: double chevron on September 05, 2007, 09:16 AM: Had a bid on it too, Del.
Seller did sent me the serial n# :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
Looks like it is an early one according to Greentoads registry.
Glad it is in some good hands now and good news about the chrome underneath!
Can't wait to see it cleaned...
You'll need another fork though :(

Post by: Del on September 05, 2007, 10:05 AM: close Phil, £260.23

Arnaud, would he have posted it to you?, I thought the pick up only would have put a few people off, anyway he was quite amazed how much it went for.

Post by: double chevron on September 05, 2007, 10:32 AM: You're right Derek, seller wasn't really OK to sent it here...
I would have had to find an arrangement with a mate from RAD, (it could have been you, it didn't realize you were so close :LolLolLolLol:)

So everyone's happy in the end, surprised seller and lucky del :daumenhoch:

Nice find and very early. Where did it come from - location wise, can you get any history etc?

It is only 4 builds away from Mason Smith's who picked his up from Rad City when Bob H came over.
