I got this from a mate in Queensland the other day, it has been sitting in a shed for the last 25 yrs, I am about to pull it down and start the restoration, it apears to be all intact and original, but unfortunatly the Swallow tyres have seen better days, luckly the blue anodising is still bright and in good nic,
