As this was a club scooter I did some asking around and got some info from some of the older lads in the club.
In 1978 in was owned by Russel Longly, he got it from John Loving. Next Toby Wood owned it and paid the high price of £100 for it. Toby then sent the engine to AF to have a 225 done to it. They had it over 6 months!!!! He then tuned it into a cut down called " A cut above" Toby then tried to ride it to the IOW in 1979 but kept nipping up so he took it off the road. After that he said it is a blur.
