I had a Fantic TI in 1977 - twas an L reg orange one

I have restored one with the correct plate and log book to immaculate condition - no fumes through the zorst - no fuel in the tank - EVER

I think the best restored TI in the UK

_ I have not seen one any where near as good :arrow:

I have a number Fantics - 2 X TI,1 X GT,1 X 125RC Caballero & an 80cc special

Had the seat base repaired (Small amount of welding to one side) re-painted - holder thing re-tapped, re-covered and posted back for £105 - from Leightons - and yes very pleased with it.
