That's what I thought lovely to see something that old still being used
Great to see it used and apparently quite a rare model.
Just needs a colour matched topbox
Indeed!
Number plate is ace given that Tyr is a viking god of war

His has been restored from the ground up, It has a Black and Silver paint job, looks stunning.

Authenticity, they only came in white or black if memory serves.
Is it a Craven?
Judging by the extra bracing on the carrier it looks like it’s being used for some serious shopping!
Could it be ex military of some sort?
I use that lock on my pub bicycle ...

I love bikes in good oily rag condition it gets me thinking about the stories behind them. Here's the Norse God.Attachments
The bike? Nope, that was a standard Douglas colour.
Glad to see the bike is social distancing! Lovely example though.

I could be mistaken (wouldn't be the first time) but I'm sure there was a 4 cylinder Dragon Fly at the Ally Pally show years ago. Maybe an Allen Millyard creation?

Must get to specsavers - are they open?
VW beetle engine?
It was a contemporary works prototype.
Talking of prototypes, I met a guy recently who was driving a unique car.
You may remember the Rover/MG 75s with a Ford V8 Mustang engine and rear wheel drive. This guy was driving a unique MG Estate with the Supercharged version of this engine fitted,. which belonged to a director of the ill-fated Phoenix group. When Autocar tested the standard vehicle, they said that the heat soak from the engine was almost too much for the air-conditioning to manage. Heavens knows what the supercharged version must be like.
Breaking the lock would be easy, now starting it.................
Could this be the 4 cyl jobby
