1985 Honda 399cc VF400FD
Registration no. C580 JEG
Frame no. NC13-2005337
Engine no. NC13E-2005323

Honda introduced the VF400F in 1982/83 and with its V4 DOHC liquid cooled engine, and inboard disc brakes, was technically advanced for the time. It stayed in the range for only four years. Acquired by the deceased owner in 2007, C580 JEG has been used sparingly during the present ownership, and displays only 29,858 miles on the odometer. It was last MoT'd in 2020 (certificate on file) with a mileage of 29,721. It was serviced, repaired, and prepared for the last MoT in July 2020 at a cost of £550 (invoice on file), and appears only to have covered 137 miles since then. SORNed in September 2021, it would seem to have been standing since then, kept in dry storage. It will, therefore, require some light re-commissioning. Documentation comprises a current V5C, an old-type V5C, a quantity of expired MoT certificates, the aforementioned invoice, and sundry papers.
