Thanks Hanno,

It had that CZ39 number even then.

Roughly when would that have been for sale?

None of the markings are original.

All were added when it was painted.

Is Frank Grant still around? He was either the luckiest guy around with respect to finding rare stuff or a bit of a charlatan.

Thanks Jordan,
Good to have some background. It confirms my thoughts that it is a very sound vehicle.
All I am doing now is routine replacements/maintenance which is to be expected after another 10 years.

Feel there is more to come out on this one though!

Cheers
John
