I understand the custom aspect, but does it work?

Hi tlmark
Thanks for adding the photos to the forum *smile*
They can be enlarged easily once opened

When I enlarge the photo of the  supposed ?? RGS I can read the engine number
It is from the 1960 model year (Sept 59)
So it cannot be original RGS as far as I know??

Ah interesting, I have to say that's not something I know anything about.
I know there's lots of fakes out there.

Not a QD headlamp either, and petrol tank paint appears to be red. It should be maroon.

  • Last had an A10 in 1976, in 2011 it was time for my 2nd one. It was the project from HELL (but I learned a lot....)
