might sound a bit 'museum' but, what was wrong with it in survivor condition?
looks to me like the history was washed out with the new paint job...

i would have loved to have left the paint but it was just peeling off it don't look too bad in the pics but it was bad and lifting off all over , i love survivors but this one was just too far gone to leave it as it was

the one trouble with a lot of survivors is there rotting from the inside out, sometimes the only

option is to strip back and repaint, not saying this one was but as a good example, would you like to

see an old E type jag rotting away in an old shed year in year out till it rust to dust or brought back to life, colour

matched and repainted,

fresh leather interior ect,  a full resto is the best respect you can give to an old part of history :daumenhoch:

To be  honest I had forgotten about this one and the MRD until pictures recently emerged. It looks like a great bike and it looks better with black tuffs too. SBD has done a mint job as usual.
