THIS HAS BEEN PART OF A PRIVATE COLLECTION SINCE 1977 / 78 WHEN IT UNDERTOOK RESTORATION. THE RESTORATION HAS NOW AGED AND WOULD BENEFIT FROM A NEW COAT OF PAINT OR A GOOD BUFFING UP DEPENDING ON THE BUYERS INTENTION. IT LOOKS WONDERFUL BUT PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS BEFORE BIDDING. INCREDIBLY RARE WITH IT'S LEGSHIELDS AND LIGHTING PACK. I HAVE TAKEN THE PLUG OUT AND SOON AS I SAW IT HAD A SPARK I COULDN'T HELP BUT SPRAY FUEL IN THE PLUGHOLE AND NO GREAT SURPRISE IT FIRED AND RAN FOR A FEW SECONDS WITH NO UNUSUAL NOISE. I DONT FEEL INCLINED TO RECOMMISSION IT FURTHER BUT I CAN SHOW THE BUYER IT FIRES UP EASY ENOUGH. THERE ARE NO DOCUMENTS WITH IT AND THE NUMBER PLATE IS NOT RECORDED AT DVLA. I HAVE PHONED THE DVLA AND HAVE A RE-REGISTER PACK BEING SENT TO ME WHICH I CAN SEND ON OR THE BUYER CAN APPLY FOR THEIR OWN. THERE ARE 12 OLD TAX DISCS DATING FROM 1954 UP TO 1968. A 1962 SPARE PARTS LIST AND A CORGI MODEL RANGE SHEET FROM WHICH I MAKE IT OUT TO BE A MARK 4 EITHER SERIES 2 OR 3 BASED ON IT HAVING SQUARE TUBULAR FRAME WITH CLUTCH AND GEARS. ANYONE LOOKING AT THIS LISTING ALREADY KNOWS THE WAR TIME PARACHUTE BIKE STORIES AND THIS IS THE BIKE FOR THE CONSUMER MARKET AT EVOLVED FROM THAT TIME. HIGHLY COLLECTABLE AND INCREDIBLY RARE IN THIS SPEC AND CONDITION. SENSIBLE OFFERS ONLY AS IT DOESN'T TAKE UP MUCH ROOM SO I COULD EASILY BE PERSUADED TO HANG ON TO IT. CASH COLLECTION WITHIN 3 DAYS OF WINNING PLEASE.
