Bought at Mid Ohio in 2012, this early H1 had sat outside and had literally been attacked with an Axe, straight through most cases, cylinders carbs Etc :o

The project was started in February this Year and I am pleased to say that we first got her running yesterday, my sincere thanks to my restorer Steve for the quality and dedication of his work :clap:
