Any thoughts on this one? We know the engine and frame left the factory together as a continental GT, but did it leave the factory looking pretty much as it does now, or has someone done a pretty professional job of making a Continental GT taller, with a more upright riding position?

Nice little bike. I think it's someone's idea of a suitable roadster for personal use. The Casquette is the pre-1959 type (assuming it's the Bullet or Twin type,) but all the other bits look like they are later then 65-66. If it was a Factory bike I'd expect the other parts to be more or less contemporary with the GT build spec. The timing cover is easy to change and the rev-counter drive is very vulnerable and not a lot of use on the road so a sensible thing to ditch. I like it as it is but it's probably worth a lot more as a GT and as you say Paul, it wouldn't be difficult to do. How much if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Mark, This is the last bike jointly owned by my Father and myself and he would like to put something towards the racing, so it has to go. It has a V5c and we are looking for £1900 ovno. Regards, Paul.
