Needs some of the modern tat scraped off it though. Lamps, washers, gauges, ignition stuff etc.

I don'know, Peter. The fog lamp (not the 'fifties Lucas one) and dashboard thermometer were factory fitted when new; I'd tolerate the washers on a screen like that, and refitting the original magneto is no big deal!

I see it's also now on eBay with a buy-it-now price of £160,000 with best offer; that's not as much as I thought it might be ... scrabbles down the side of the sofa

I think there are various "supplementary" gauges but the one that offended me the most was the very obvious 1960s one on the left. The one to the left of the three on the right looks bad too.

p.s. Can I have a poke down the side of your sofa too!

I would have stuck in a bid... but the mismatched headlight lenses had put the mockers on that!

Cheers, Tony.
