Looks nice and the 200 engine is a bonus. Remember it's 50 + years old so it will have had bits taken on and off over the years and if you have a couple or more teething problems then they won't be the fault of the dealer.
I expect you are very excited and impatient !

Yeah as far as I'm concerned it's sold as seen. I'm quite prepared to plow some money into it.
Apparently it runs really nicely which is a big bonus. The plan is to get it up to mot standard get the docs sorted, let my dad see it, then take it back off him so I can get it all sorted so I can go to a few meets on it and be part of the scooter scene. I've earmarked iow 2016 and a Brighton run that I will definitely do.
To he honest I can hardly wait now, once I've got it I will close this thread down and do an ongoing build thread.
