About this example

This example appears to match the recognised collector detail: 1975 first year, original silencers and paint. That gives it more interest than an otherwise similar standard example. The seller highlights 6 stated miles, factory-original wording and a claim that it was never registered. These are useful clues, but the photographs and paperwork should still be checked carefully.
