I'd be very interested to see what it chrono's at!

 

If it looks alright it might just want an overhaul and bit of a clean up... wouldn't even want to guess what parts prices and availability are like but if you're looking for a restoration project I guess the limit is up to you.

 

I think some pics are in order too!

Takes a bit of getting used to, after being used to a PCP! I had my Dads old HW35e at the house a few months back for cleaning & re-lubing. I tried a few shots in the garden, let's just say it took a bit of getting used to!
