That looks to be in very good condition. Has it had a recent rebuild or was the previous owner a bit anal about cleaning it?
You know how it is, they always look so much better in a bright sunny day photo. Up close, it's not too bad either. Not showroom mint, but in better nick than I was when I was 48.
The reason it has aged so well is possibly due to it spending its life in the US, and almost certainly in better weather than we endure. It has a lovely genuine patina.
It's been standing a while as I became aware of on its maiden spin out. One of the fuel taps didn't want to play, despite the tank being 3/4 full, and on the ride it was stuttering at times, and stalled a couple as though it was starved of fuel. Removing the tank revealed goo in the lines and also in the float chambers.
And because I haven't rode an old Brit for 30 or so years I've got bugger all tools to use. I've ben spending heavily online today
I'd sorta planned to ride it this summer, and give it some TLC over the winter, but we'll see.
It's all good. I'm at the bottom of the learning curve and have the luxury of another bike to ride, so I can be patient and take my time.
