Right then
Been out for a trundle and just got back
After checking out the frame as the headtube was sticking out the box that was upside down when parcelforce delivered it
......but all seems to be good nic and as a little bonus I don't think this is ever been built up there are no clamp marks on the rear dropouts from a quick release, the fork is still in primer and the bottom bracket is clean as a whistle..... It's just covered in marks and dust, Is it possible this could be new old stock!

Been T-cut polishing this morning, we have a lot of 'Stick it over there' chips and scratches that will need touching up, think I need some sort of colour filler if there is such a thing
I have been advised this is most probably the original factory colour, probably ordered this way and the 'only original once' has already been mentioned scaring me that theyre holding a stick with barbed wire wrapped around it whilst saying it .......
any paint revival advice folks?
(Scratches are more highlighted in the daylight
)

After a little bit of deliberation on what to do with the paint I decided to give it a good t-cut & polish it's come out pretty good
It's very evident that this is not going to be perfect paint but if it's going to stay this colour the fork needs a colour. It has been suggested that I go white or silver but I really want to have a go at trying to match the paint up somehow for the fork.......
Queue Halfrauds!
It'll be fine

Forks were already in primer so I forget I would give it a black undercoat to make sure it came out all little bit darker than the colour on the tin......
5 coats in......That came out so much better than I expected
And Tubing decals arrived yesterday too, I'll get them applied and then a clear coat tomorrow.
