Bought 18 months ago and imported from the US. Owned from new by the previous owner and is now undergoing a full restoration.
One of the last "pre Molly" examples, so these had all the upgrades of the TCII without the black paint job.
Obviously it's had many engine rebuilds over the years (no surpsise there then) but I can clearly see the results of the utterly stupid "water injection" kit that was fitted to it
It also needed a crankcase repair (dry area) due to a snapped chain but the crankcases have now been repaired & painted, with the top end being removed, inspected, painted, upgraded and refitting within the next 2 weeks or so.
The previous spent quite a bit on the motor prior to sale: new 1166cc kit (7.8:1CR), welded crank, windage plate, APE crank studs, APE cyl studs.
Upgrades are full deep sump, MTC lock-up clutch with 35mm clutch cover spacer, cyl head overhaul (valve lap, stem seals etc), MLS head gasket, vernier cam sprockets, cam cover breather, Dyna 2000 with boost retard, Dyna coils, MTC leads, Mikuni HSR42, full stainless triangular air filter. I have also upgraded the 370 Rajay turbo to the same spec as my old Silver Saxon so it'll go like a good un.
Should be ready within the next 6 weeks or so.
