Hello all, Still trying to work out my frame year and could do with some advice. The frame number is on the bottom of the front fork yoke (plate) on a small...
Warren, That may be the correct number for the frame but I would guess that it was added at a later date. The frame number should either be on the left side of...

Warren, D2 makes it an ex-GPO machine by my reckoning and they had their own workshops and spares. Because of this it is probably a case of 'Triggers old...
Hi Chris. Thanks for this. There are some part that definitely look a little GPO triggery... I had discounted it being an 1955 ex GPO as the reg doesn't fit...
