This bike survived the war only to be left by the British in Italy, it was then tucked away by an Italian in a barn until it was more his than theirs and that's where it remained for decades. Pulled out and then repatriated a few years ago it was in really good condition. I bought it from the previous owner who found it and had spent a small fortune on it. I have lots of receipts, original tools and bits. It also comes with the magazine it was featured in and pannier bags and a centre stand, dating certificates and other paperwork.
Last time I used it was 18 months ago when the clutch cable snapped, luckily I carried some spares and made one at the side of the road. Since then its sat in my shed it will need a light recommissioning and checking over before being ridden.
The speedo is not original on the bike.
