Thanks for that. I'd thought it was the wrong one i had on...and in the wrong place too.....  ???


Just noticed , the repro set which is on there right now says "Chatsworth" and according to that site the 85 Cali is "Moorpark".....

JimmyP will confirm this when he seens the thread  :daumenhoch:

yes, Jim was kind enough to point that out when i first posted a photo many moons back...but since then i realise the whole decal set is wrong.... as you say looks as though its definately an 85 Californian "Moorpark" full cro-mo accord to the Vintage BMX lot..  :daumenhoch:
