Hi Hooksey,

Well the Engine was made on the 10th of August 1981 so that sadly doesn't give us the correct date. One thing that is odd about this machine and that is it has the Rover-Scott Bonnar Catcher rubbers fitted which is strange.
I'm starting to wonder if this machine has been repainted at some stage as the bearing housings on the reel have also the same colour on them as the chassis when they should be in fact natural die cast, but that double ID plate arrangement is earlier than Rover Scott Bonnar days..............

DeeJay what do you think ?

Cheers,
BB
