    I can't see it in the computerised version of the dispatch record. There is a bit of the trials bike record missing from my version of the computerised list. I'll have a look in the paper record later.

    PM me so I don't forget please.

      Its a 24TCS last recorded with 'Roger' of Wigton, basket case on eBay 10/18 with reg No 7263PX (not PCT). So presumably you have bought it from him. Was reviewed on forum http://www.greeves-riders.org.uk/for...-24tcs-project
      Good news its on the DVSA so you can get a new V5c so reg number safe.

          John's identification is correct. I've now had time to find it in the original paper factory record. It is a 24TCS and it left the factory in April 1960.

          Using the original record always takes a while because the bikes appear in the order of the dates they were ordered, so to find an individual bike you have to go through the pages looking for the frame number.

          This problem with bikes not appearing in my computerised version seems to particularly affect the Scottish models; I guess I'm going to have to re-enter them.

          All good fun!

              What is the confustion with the reg number?
              Coincidentally the previous frame number 60/3248 (reg No 3127PX) is on ebay now https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1960-Gree...US5:rk:43f:0 looks like it may have gone to same dealer in West Sussex and was first regstered 12/4/60.
              Yours must have remained unsold for some time as reg number is 2238 numbers on, and was not registered till August 1960
