Brilliant buy, I ve always been attracted to these since an older rider I rode with in the 80’s had a pair of his and hers. From memory he had converted to Boyer Branson leccy ignition and was suprised about ability to lock upthe rear wheel on down shifts without rev matching??. The BM 65LS is another on my “ light bike” wish list.
Very nice indeed and that’s a lovely Monster you have to keep it company too!

Yes it is. He has a few people interested but I got there first as it was only 40 mins away. First thing to sort is the front calliper that operates on its own with the front brake lever. The linked braking circuit is fine. Once I get that done I will change the fluids and take it on a few short runs to decide what to do with it.Hi Mark

cable operated , remote master ?
Is that the arse end of an MGB roadster I can see, or a Midget?

That's a beauty. I had an MGB roadster back in the mid '80s, it was a money pit but I loved driving it. Mrs always wanted a Midget but could never find the right one. She ended up with an MX5 so was plenty happy in the end.
I’ll take the Monster please!
I owned a ‘74 MGB roadster for about 10 years. Did loads of miles in it including honeymoon in France. Once I sorted a few initial issues it was extremely reliable and so easy to self maintain. If you went to any of the big MG meetings between 1986 and 1997 we may have met! We used to camp and get mullered.
I was a member of the MG owners club in the mid 80s but didn't go to the big meetings. I remember the club magazine being quite good. Most of my issues were with rust and corrosion, the usual inner and outer sills, inner and outer wings, plus the OD unit packed in, and I had to get the engine reconditioned. However it's the only car I ever made money on when I sold it.
