Ashley didn't see this restoration until it was finally completed. Due to various reasons it took quite a while to complete. He was desperate to see it and was taken aback with it when he did see it. 

Ashley commented:-

Absolutely fantastic, it's Mint.

Looks great in my Lounge. All my Mates loved it, very chuffed with it.

1977 Jawa framed Weslake Speedway Bike - A Tribute to Ellesmere Port Gunners Speedway.

I built this bike to add to my collection as a tribute to the Ellesmere Port Gunners, who I supported back in the day. It was one that got part done then parked. I recently completed it but it didn't stay long in my Collection. It was bought by Andy from Norwich.

Andy commented:-

Bike looks great, very happy with it, want to keep it in house, wife says no, thanks again for all the hard work Dave.

Think I will have to buy a Jawa next, will keep looking at your website Dave.

1976 / 1977 Jawa Framed Weslake ex Steve Hartley - Restored by me during September 2014 to January 2015.

This bike was built originally by Steve for the 1977 Season but due to injury and forced retirement the bike was sold. I discovered the bike for sale in Kent in early 2014 and bought it and restored it to it's former glory.

Steve commented:-

"It looks absolutely fantastic, what a great job you have done on it"

"You have even found an original BSPA Silencer, wow"
