Hello,
I've just bought a 1965 Colchester Bantam 800. The gentleman who owned it before me was a retired engineer, who mainly used it for model making. He'd had it for 30 years, so its seen fairly light use for most of its life.
As you can see the paint is a bit of a state, but other wise I believe it is in quite good nick. In time I intend to address its scruffiness, but for now I've just given it fresh head/gearbox oil and a new v belt.
When in use the gears in the head are quite...
My New (well 1965) Colchester Bantam 800. Some gear head noise?!
