I had an LD (it got stolen from my front garden) that cost me £30, but then had a Series 2 that I rode for a long while - even took it to Glastonbury and back in '85 when you could ride onto the campsite. I did own a GP cutdown for a while that I bought from a mate for next to nothing (i didn't cut it!), but I was never really into the idea of chopping them up and regret that so many went that way . They were pretty cheap in the 80's (and always missing fins Etc) We bought and sold them amongst our mates a lot then.
After 20 years and saving for six months i got this one from a LCGB member, who imported it from Italy, fitted new seals and bearings and MOT'd it for me. She needs some work, but I'm very pleased so far.
This is how she was after import.

and at mine, after MOT, in the sun. looks good... the frame has a lot of surface rust, the area around the tool box door especially so she's going for a paint job.
i call her Izzy as she is Iseo Blue.

I fitted a new loom, cables and nuts and bolts but have decided to go for a full conservation.
I'm now prepping to get the frame and underpanel parts powder coated (RAL 6034). I'm rebuilding the forks with MB stuff and am going to stick in a one piece gear selector arm, new exhaust Etc.. Happy to keep the 6v points for the moment but the stator needs rewiring. Keeping it 125 but its on final rebore size i think.

Very happy!
