I have two ‘48 A7 tele-rigid, one complete and a spare frame , engine and components waiting to be built up. What kind of pictures are you looking for?  I should be in my shop this weekend and could see what I can photograph

Thank you for your reply and offer but I can't believe my luck and stupidity in finding one in my box of parts - I am a numb nut!!
I'm going though everything I have and cataloguing it all so this doesn't happen again!

This happens. In a recent sale I mixed up an A7 rear wheel with some B31 items. Now to swap this means delivery cost to send the correct wheel and return my A7 wheel. Damn!
