Originally a US Police specification motorcycle with automatic transmission (as fitted to the Convert), this machine came to the UK via Germany and the Netherlands in 1988. When the vendor first saw it the specification very much reflected a life in the United States military, although the five speed manual gearbox was already fitted. This was a common conversion since the automatic transmission could be difficult to repair and wasn't to all tastes: Moto Guzzi effectively productionised the idea with the G5.
The vendor, a retired mechanical engineer, retained the main frame, fork externals, some bodywork, crankcase, sump, oil pump and cylinder head assembles, before rebuilding the machine for his regular commute between Wales and Devon. Components were sourced from a T3 and Spada, with much effort put into detailing. This culminated in a 2010 rebuild since when perhaps 1,000 miles have been added, with the odometer reading 61,613 miles.
