That would be about right - this one was auctioned in 87 according to the MoD release papers, it's been stood in a shed ever since!
Interestingly the auctions for all these were about a mile from where I now live and the same place I bought my first one from in 1987.
Someone filled the engine with oil - maybe to protect it - drained it today and made a start on cleaning it up, probably take a good while but it's basically sound.

I used to chat to a guy on Cricklewood broadway who did them up and sold them. Tgat would be about 87/88. I always thought that one day…..

Remember the shop., tucked up an alley. He had a line of ex MOD Can-ams and Armstrong MT500s. He was still going into the 1990s IIRC

Gigrontous. When being all torque is a good idea.
