            Arthur Williams in Queensland has a Scottish, 60/1024. Not sure if a direct export or a "take-over".

              A 20TC, looking at nearby numbers (60/1023 was a UK bike) it was a 'takeover' from UK. No doubt someone with dispatch records can confirm

                        Dennis Brown has come back to confirm your suspicions as to 24 TJC 180 and has possibly details of a 24 TFS he sold some years ago. He is looking for the sales doc at present. Now confirmed as 24 TJSC 344

                            Is anyone actually pulling all this information together? We need to.

                            The survivor aspect is interesting of course, and the gathering of known numbers for exported bikes will give us a much better idea about them.

                            I'd like to add them to a version of the computerised dispatch record - all information is useful, but I personally don't have time to collate them. My authentication duties are actually quite time consuming. Hats off once again to Druid!

                            I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but how about a dedicated sticky thread to at least get them all in one place - or perhaps two: "UK Survivors" and "Overseas Survivors"?

                            "Overseas Survivors" isn't offensive to our colonial cousins I trust..?
