Just picked this up. Original from an insurance repair in the 80s. Bit of a dent on other side.

It is a shame but my main reason for buying it, other than having it as a reference, is that it's got a brand new side panel badge stuck to it! Remember my trauma of missing out on a pair of NOS badges by a hair's breadth? They were up near the £600 mark (landed) when I bailed out of the madness :lol: . I eventually managed to track another one down and secure it so now I have a pair. My guess is that when the insurance job was carried out, they bought 2 new badges (£3.47 each in 1983) but only used one and stuck the other on the old tank for practice?
