That's an impressive restoration there Mervin.

Raymond have you got any photos to update us with. Sounds like you're doing better than I'd expected to tell you the truth. I thought it may have taken you a while before you sorted those bits out. Would be interested in seeing the frame and engine once it's done.

Hi first to Nev, no i'm not far from Ilkeston, i'm in Long Eaton,but when i removed the number plate, you can see a faint name on the bottom which said supplied by Granby Motors of Ilkeston, a friend of mine used to race for them back in the 60s, anyway the bike is now stripped and is at the powder coaters, for shotblasting and coating back to black, the engine has been stripped and rebuilt into good casings, supplied by RDJames, barrels are going next week for rebore and new pistons, hubs have been cut out of wheels, and are being restored before i have them rebuilt, i am making a list of parts that are beyond redememtion, to take to Stafford show in April, will post some more pics when i get the frame and parts back.

Granbys are still in business, almost next door to the Tesco at the bottom of Bath Street, Ilson.
