RR had your name on a sticker on the tank !!!!
NC29 is expensive ... on old tyres - no fancy wheels and needs an overhaul.
If only Clive could guarantee whats inside the engine .... or take offers.

£1200? Surely the micron exhaust and FCR's with airbox are worth most of that alone!

Having been all over this bike - it has Manx stickers - NOT TT - but has genuine HRC headers and FCRs / Airbox.
Trick forks - nice WP shock.
That's it ... UNLESS the engine is full of goodies ....
Do I take a gamble ?

I dunno. A friend of mine bought anRD 350LC with 0.3 miles on the clock from them for £2200 a couple of years ago.
You have to be patient and determined to barter with Mr Padgett

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

I agree - I'm going to continue negotiations with his daughter who does the web sales......
I'll let you know how I get on.

Just assuming from the End can. I know Micron did HRC copies of exhaust systems i.e I think the NC30 had one.
Edit just noticed the ad says its HRC
