What a w/end on the Blue Alron front

First of, due to the Generosity of Frank on this forum we now have his nearly complete spare Sprite rolling frame which was over here in the Perth Metro 

Before you ask Firko the rare Sprite Alloy sidecover are in VGC
The only parts missing are the brake plates . Hope we can find maybe REH/Rickman/Sprite to fit

So thats close to winning Lotto part one

Next Cyclegod posted the Gumtree ad of the SDR for sale again in the Perth Metro which is the very motor model used in the 1973 writeup of the Alron down to the correct Amal carby plus the SDR pipe is also what was fitted UNBELIEVABLE   

What a positive for this forum as this would have never happen at any odds
Just as a side note, looks like the SDR is a ex Ray Ryan bike
For my part  Helping out a fellow VMXWA member has been very rewarding as now this piece of Aussie history will be restored
The Photo below is all we started with

Thanks Guys

I take it that you bought that very well priced gem

Good work Murray, they've gone to a great new home I'm sure. Those ally side covers are like hens teeth
I'm about to sell my early series Sprite frame to another forum member for him to fit his oval 250 Maico motor for pre 65 so there's another one that'll eventually hit the track. I've still got a later fastback frame and my mate Jonesy has a genuine one off experimental Sprite frame with original lay down shocks currently on the docks in England awaiting a ship to the lucky country.

Well the sprite is on its way to a good home to be restored, we loaded it up tonight, he is a fine young man and he is very happy with his new project.

[EML]

What about the SDR-they are as rare as-but not as rare as the Sprite I 'spose

[JC]

Well done Murray & co.
