Hi everyone
I’m Andy from Somerset in the Uk. I’m not new to bike restoration. have done many japanese bikes and a couple of Ducatis but this is my first British bike and how much more difficult it is!!
It’s a 1960 A10 which I acquired as an unfinished project. It’s a Spitfire homage. Just a rolling chassis and boxes of bits. I’m in the process of rebuilding the engine. It’s been converted  to roller bearings and crank dynamically balanced. The head has been rebuilt and ready to go back in the engine. That’s where I am at the moment. I look forward to reading up on all your knowledge.

Sounds like you've got the makings of a good bike. Anything you need, I've (probably) got it!
