unfinished Greeves

Whittier, CA
Wanting to sell the unfinished Greeves... extremely rare only two known to exist now.Special order by Nick Nicholson.
Plenty of pics, this is the frame number.
Otto now advises frame No of 2nd Pathfinder is 62N208 NOT 120. I have amended accordingly. This bike was recently for sale on eBay so presumably Otto bought it from there.
Bruce Johnson USA 24MX5G321
Jeff Farnsworth USA 24MCS/2/478 and 24MD125
Garry Bamford UK 24MX5G 227 and 229. His pal (?) has 24MX5G232

Good afternoon Brian,
In response to your request on FB for information on “survivors” I have a number of Greeves motorcycles here in Dublin.
I raced Grass-track and Scrambles 1967-1976 thereafter trials on of Montesa manufacture machines. In period 1967 – 1975 I was mostly Greeves mounted, Hawkstone, MDS, Challengers and last 360cc before going to Husq for last season.
I have the following:
360cc fully restored bought in Dublin no frame number no idea of history.
Greeves Frame no: 60/2543 believed from Northern Ireland, frame fully chromed and with engine brackets for Bultaco engine believed raced. Presently I’m fitting Bultaco engine.
MCS Frame number 61/3867with square barrel under restoration.
MDS complete for restoration. Frame no 24MDS1126. Bought in Cork
Anglin complete for restoration. Frame no 24THSA115. Bought in Cork
Bought as Hawkstone with square barrel in Dublin being restored. Frame no 61/2740.
Road bike Frame no 20DC 396 under restoration. Bought in Waterford Dublin registration.
Frame no number, engine plates for Villiers 2T
Short stroke 250cc I bought new in Rutledge & Thompson Greeves Agent Dublin. Frame 24MX555.
Lovely bike to ride love it. Engine nothing but trouble brought crankshafts, pistons even cylinder studs. I bought second hand 360cc bike, switched engines and rode it with great success, at my level very pleased to have it back for restoration.
I also have MDS rolling chassis heavily bored engine cradle and top suspension mount with four position no engine number told it was once owned by Mervyn McConkey North Ireland supported rider.
Hope above is of assistance pleased to supply any other details that
you require.

60/2543 is a 24DB roadster frame
61/2740 a 24DC roadster (not Hawkstone)
Anyone know the frame number of this 25DC in the NMM
The museum wont reveal the number This statement from James Hewing
"Sorry, as a matter of policy we do not give out frame or engine numbers for any of the inventory"
Maybe if someone is visiting they can get it
He did send these numbers before, but no harm in publishing again, particularly as he promises to meet with the Greeves importer, Domenico Rege, to see what records he has. I asked for stories etc from that time,
