Hi all. I was gifted this Viscount Aerospace by one of my local club riders. It was her dads, bought in the late 70s I think.
Any Viscount authorities around these parts who could date it further/name the model? I saw @Guinessisgoodforyou did a beautiful job on a Supabike recently. If I can revive this one half as competently I'll be happy.
There are obviously a few anachronistic parts on here but most of it looks original and in fairly reasonable condition.
I have spotted one potential project killer already though;
I want to think it's a scratch but the way this runs across the fillet has me worried. That and the seat collar looking like a dodgy replacement could have overstressed the junction. Will remove some paint and see.
You can see in this picture the nice cream paint, with a hint of pearl. On my initial googling I wasn't able to spot the same finish in an ad or catalogue, so if anyone knows what model it is do let me know.
