Re:

Fantastic

Although I've put absolutely zero time in to looking for a Formula 1, I think I would regard one as a grail bike, and as such would never expect to own one.
Every memory I have of the brand is with Deb at the controls of one, but it's clear that there must be a few more types and sizes out there somewhere.
Any info on total numbers produced and where they are now?

I'll take Nigel Mansells ex pit bike please

I was extremely fortunate to acquire the '(F1) Cycle Chassis History' folder a few years ago, an example is shown in Simon's post. Only 49 were built. One of those is a road bike!

Agree 100%. Facebook and the like can't compete with a good old forum for this kind of thread

Thank you for all the positive feedback. I’ve updated the third post with photos of how it stands today. Aiming to get it finished soon.
