    I’d still do it up even if I didn’t have the time, I’d just take longer to do it.

    Looks in good order under the grime?

    If it was mine I’d either do a full restoration for fun and probably summer-ride for a while and then flog it, or…if my size then keep it. Those bikes were made to gleam and sparkle in the sunshine along hot country lanes to cool rural pubs.
