This 20TD has recently appeared on Greeves facebook, its being restored by John Biggs (J A Biggs Engineering, Guernsey) for a customer. John says its been on Gurnsey for all if not most of its life. (Frame number 20TD115)
Unfortunatly the tank from a roadster is wrong, as is the rubber seat. It also now has a 32A engine with Amal carb. In view of difficulty & expense in obtaining the correct parts the bike will probably be finished off with these incorrect parts. Shame that original tank has been lost from the bike, I did suggest to John that he (or the owner) could do well to join this forum & hopefully receive more help than the usual facebook 'favours'
A vary rare bike, its the only 20TD I have on my survivors list.
