12w is an old dt125lc mk1 about 84 the 12w prefix was used for it's whole life but a low number like that would put it at 84 i guess (may be 83 tho)

you could try your nearest bike breakers or on various web sites

cheers jim seems to add up. thought it was that or the dt125 mx 79-83. looking at similar on line think its the lc

If you parked them up side by side there is no way you could mix up an lc and an mx (125), my avtar and Oldgits sign off are MX's, the 12w prefix is completely different to any of the MX numbers, they were prefixed number, letter, number. Eg 2K4 (175) or 2A6 (125)

Any picture available??

cheers guys its deffo a dt 125lc 82 model, got my haynes manual, and now proceding with gettin her running, thanks

PS the 12w prefix on the frame number was for this model being restricted, the 10w ones were un restricted,
