Picked this up 85% complete last year and it feels like it's taken an age to get sorted.

After a full strip down the Frame was quickly dispatched to Dan who matched the paint perfectly with the original. The crank and bars were sent to Hockley for a re-chrome. Big thanks to these guys - their work is top-notch as always  :4_17_5:

Also a big thank you to Del for reproducing the decals - another awesome set..........thanks Del  :4_17_5:

Anyway..............it's a pretty rare 1984 MT Racing 'The Fox Special Edition' which shares the same Frameset as the UFO. 19" Toptube and full Chromo Frame and Forks. These were available in a multitude of colours BITD but hardly any seem to have survived.

Fully restored to factory spec using the correct parts which are always a nightmare to find  ??? Hope you like her  :)

How it arrived  :(











After the new paint and decals -





And now fully built  :smitten:































And a quick crafty pic of the current MT collection -



Cheers
Nath  :)
