Striking orange colour, with all the patina about it, the colour looks to have been there a long time. Do you know whether it is original paint or not?
Looks to be in great nick as far as the body goes.

Now that I have checked, I have recorded these details before.
Would you be able to send me a copy of the pictures for my collection please. They don't copy well from photobucket.
