Thanks Keith,
Here's photos: http://www.bluepencil.com/7.jpg (106k)
Anybody care to look and tell me what they think I'd
REALLY appreciate it!!!
The filler's in the "trunk"
It's got mix of Smiths and Jeager gauges
The bottom frame rails sport cylindrical brackets for
(I think) cycle wings lower mount. The same type
brackets are on the top rails and hold the headlight
bracket tubes (and I suppose the top cycle wing
mounts)
Cockpit sides and dash are currenly black vinyl
covered.
4 wheels and steering wheel obviously not orig.
DRUM brakes all around.
I'm told it's a very early '62 Seven S2, I've seen the
VIN plate scribed E or B 1135, Frame welded tag in
front of passenger seatsquab appears to say 135.
Anybody care to look and tell me what they think I'd
REALLY appreciate it!!!
Thanks so much,
John Donohoe
