Recent Aquisition
« on: 24.05. 2019 09:24 »
Hi all New to the forum and new to restoration although some of the plugs I have owned in the past could well be described as a case of permanent and continual restoration
any way looking forward to help and advice for a recent A7 which I believe to be a 1949

  • 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....)

Devlin,

Welcome to the forum.  *welcome* Wow! that is some kind'a beautiful and historic place where you live. It's the kind of place that we Yanks like to think of getting to some day, but rarely do. It would be so amazing to ride an A10 there rather than the flatlands around Chicago. Yes, some pictures would be great and maybe a brief story of how you came across your bike on the seemingly remote Isle of Arran.
