    Or someone at the factory picked up the wrong number punch...
    There was a 1956 20T stolen in the Liverpool area about 5 years ago.The details were in leading link number 6028T. I know of six 1956 20T,s and they all have a T stamped after the number

        Hi
        IF 6028T was stolen, it was stolen for it's engine or at least the thieves know the engine is saleable.
        Morcambe (where the frame is advertised from) is not a million miles away from Liverpool.
        It's a scam I have long suspected, the theft of an older or unfashionable machine and then the engine (which is untraceable)
        gets used in a modern 'James' or modern special.
        The cycle parts are then pretty much valueless.
        Please tell me I'm completely wrong.

          That seems a very understandable reason tony, how can we best combat these situations?
