One owner, untouched since 78, smothered with oil and blankets.
New fuel and battery and fired right up. Rode it home after a quick stop for tyres.
Question re hazard switch, never seen one like it, original or aftermarket?
Anyone restoring wants detailed pics of any area to be 100% sure shout out.

Wow....that is a cracker to find in such original condition. More pics please....
Yes, the hazard is correct. Part number is 27014-008. It moved to the LH switch later

Apart from the plug caps and headlight it looks totally original. Is that a Cibie headlight? The caps and headlight were the 2 first things anyone did to improve the bike back in the day. Nice to have those pre 76 pipes on there too.

I like the 'BOYER OF BROMLEY' sticker. He was the dealership that raced Triumphs and got BRANSDEN to do electronic ignition, Hence the BOYER BRANSDEN system

Ensure mechanically sound and leave the dirt n grime in place.
Quick carb tune yesterday, oil and filters today and 60 mile on the clock this morning without so much as a hick up

Right time, right place, diligence, persistance and graft coupled with ready cash.
