        Is this the same 25TA that Dave Bradley restored? (see pic below)
        How many 25TA's survive?

            Thanks Dave, I thought it was Dave's bike. Presumably only 6 built with frame numbers in the series 8651-6TA (Dave's bike being No2)

              If I recall correctly, the notes on the bike said only 6 are known to exist, (as opposed to being built); the exhibitor inviting anyone who knows of any additional ones to contact him. That was how I read it anyway.

                Certainly seen at Bristol

                Although there were about 10 shades of Moorland blue, two black ones, correct shade of blackand a few silver ones - there was only one Moorland Orange



                The flash makes quite a difference to the depth of colour

                    I know of one other 25TA frame number 9048TA This was one of the bikes from the Richard Greensides collection in Norfolk that were being sold of by his son Andrew Kempton back in May 2016. It went into Brightwells auction on 8th June 2016 then fitted with a 9E engine No 625B4123. Sold for £750 so someone bought it
                    Here are the pics

                      Just added a couple of pics of the other 25TA (9048/TA) but is that a 25TA number as Maurice Nicholas bike has an 8*** series number
                      It was listed by Andrew Kempton in this list of bikes in May 2016

                        Its been confirmed that the 25TA (9048/TA) listed by Andrew Kempton was a error on his part & was in fact a 20TA. So that one can be crossed off as a survivor. Does anyone know of any other 25TA survivors other than 8652/TA?
