OBM suggests a sharpening of drawing skills might be useful during a restoration.

Steve Lee writes from Norfolk with this photograph of the 1923 BSA Model L he’s just acquired. It was running as recently as four years ago and has had a pretty easy life. It’s been in one family from new (just two owners) and is in original trim. It came with a Swansea V5 so my services won’t be needed in that department. Steve is hoping to be at Banbury this year. The registration PW 1928 is a local Norfolk issue which commenced in January 1923.
TT Winner?

Tony Stark has the Gold Star you see here, having acquired it from an old friend who had owned it for the past 40 years. It’s registered TOJ 876 and came with an old continuation logbook, which shows his friend as the last owner from March 7, 1968. He’s been told that this is the bike ridden by Bernard D Codd which won the 1956 TT. It was, however, crashed at Mallory Park in 1959 and may have had a frame swap afterwards, although he’s not sure about this. He’d welcome any more information about the bike if anyone can help.
