Beautiful, wouldn't have thought blue and red would go well together but it certainly works here. Love the fancy chrome lugs, some close-ups would be great.
 
I can imagine it set you back quite a lot of money through eBay, but quality will be remembered long after the price paid is forgotten. What a fine bike! +1 on the colour combination. Very nice.
 
Lovely Hetchins

As said above, those colours work on this Hetchins and the lugwork is indeed ' fancy ' especially in chrome.
Lucky man :D and look forward to some nice closeup of this one.

Claims to be a 1961,I just love the lugwork.Will post some pictures when I get it.

I hope you're collecting? Not sure I'd want that floating around amongst the Christmas post! :)
 
Got it yet? ;)

If its your size, it will be one of the most comfortable bikes you could own......wether the vibrant rear stays are a gimmick or not, mine doesn't like being put away until I have clocked at least 75 miles!

I completed the 205 at L'eroica on mine too........

You must also contact Len Ingram at hetchins.org to place it on the hetchins register......they may be able to provide you with copies of the original sales invoice too!
 
It is now with me.Few small jobs needed,couple more pics.
