Obviously two bidders wanted it so badly. Massey Dave must be rubbing his hands as from what i've seen, his restorations are spot on if ever he wanted to sell. Ollyblogs still has his if someone wants a challenge.

Just watched the video for the first time, surely there's something amiss with the clutch linkage / gearbox mounts ?, never seen a pedal jump around like that.

Not really in the 70s when it was in its heyday. Maneuverable, reasonably comfortable and could grip for England.

I remember the day it arrived at Ollys. The 3070 that was also on the lorry was no better.
