It was then fully and professionally restored by Bill Hoard, of Midland MI in 2007 this rebuild entailed a complete strip-down of engine and cycle parts. The engine was blueprinted and balanced, frame powder-coated, tank and mudguards etc. painted and parts replaced as necessary. The engine and frame numbers match (DU66088) and all parts are authentic with one exception, electronic ignition (those familiar with Lucas 4CA contact breakers will sympathize!)
