I daren't say how much paid for it!!!
I understand that;  I persuaded myself to pay a lot for a NOS side-stand.

Is this the bike that picture were posted after retrieval from the canal? If so could you direct me to where they were posted? You have done a very beautiful restore in record time. I hope you get to enjoy many miles and smiles riding it. Lloyd L

Hi Bsalloyd. I think it's here
https://www.a7a10.net/forum/index.php?topic=16757.msg143819#msg143819
The topic was originally entitled 'Mersey RGS' but to be precise it was dredged out of the Manchester Ship Canal which runs parallel to the Mersey at the point where it was found.

I appreciate you providing this information. I own a 1963 RGS that did not come with the rear mudguard. So I was needing the mounting details that your photos show. Thank you, Lloyd L
