That frame number does not look right, it is much much too high.

Glass's Motor Cycle check book gives the Super Rocket discontinued at frame GA7 25001 in August 1963.

Could it be just one 7? GA7 8998?

I may go to the pub, thanks to those who have helped. this was put on face book and I got into a discussion about it. long story short I said I thought it was an A10 super rocket but a chap was adamant it was a 1960 A7?

 But having said all that ^^, when was the A7's discontinued ?



 Edit; Answering my own question^^ (looked up Johns' list;  ),   A7's Last listed for 1962 year

     

         A7                                    CA7            9714    GA7  21120    500            ( Tried to line columns up )
                          A7 ALTERNATOR            CA7A    9714    GA7    21120    500
                          A7SS SHOOTING STAR    CA7SS    9277    GA7    21120    500

The A7 finished in 1962, Glass's Check Book give it as May and gives the last engine and frame numbers.

The factory announced the demise ofthe A7 to the trade in a news sheet in June 1962.
