Ride or restore! I ride it… 50 yrs young. Mainly completely original.  Starts easily (if you know the drill). Runs, shifts, brakes. Remember this is 50, so all suspension, brakes, act like 50.. Numbers matching. Previous owner installed New tube, tires, cables, repainted tank and side covers. Not correct color, tank should be two tone, cream and red. Replacement speedo, works great, but not a Smith’s. (have original) fuel petcocks updated, updated amal carb. Original mileage? Whom knows.  Engine is strong, I see no evidence it has ever been out of frame. But it is 50, and oil leakage is evident, hey, 50 year old gaskets and seals.. Still with points and condenser, some rust pitting on both wheels, rear fender, tank is fiberglass and spider fractures in paint. Called patina.. Just an original survivor. Still turns heads!! Some spare parts, gaskets, speedo, shop manual, and I’ll throw in some whitworth tools.!!  Research it if you want, I have not..Low reserve, (not gonna give it away)  Lights and tail, brake light work fine, horn does not, turn signals work with your arms..haha.
