This arguably better than new restoration of a late T140 which was in a very tired condition when it first arrived was completed in late 2016. Completed under our Pay-As-You-Go scheme, it perfectly illustrates the extremes of flexibility of the scheme. For discerning owners looking for a state of the art restoration with modest monthly funding available a project of this kind can be completed as this one was, over a ten year period. Full restoration is not necessarily always the answer. Pictured here with proud owner Steve in front and me behind is his beautiful 1961 Matchless G12. We were privileged to be tasked with partial and sympathetic restoration under our Pay-As-You-Go scheme over the course of about a year. Selective restoration of this kind can represent a considerable saving and has the additional advantage of retaining original features as well as some patina. It can return a much-loved machine whose looks and performance are beginning to fade to one in the rudest of health and appearance. I am grateful to Steve for his patience, enthusiasm and kind words.
Our latest company project/demonstrator now entering the road testing phase (July 2019) is by any definition a virtual "new build" consisting of more "New Old Stock" parts (collected over almost 20 years) than any that have gone before, or possibly ever again. Designed as a Classic Cafe Racer with more than a hint of modern sports bike/modern retro, it demonstrates the versatility of the original platform.
