Like Sid says.

When you said "vintage" I thought you meant really vintage

I did a similar thing once, nostalgia isn't what it used to be. When a sprog I was given a New Hudson Autocycle as a field bike. When I saw one advertised about 20yrs ago I decided to buy it, like yours it was totally original and complete, right down to 1954 tyres!

Sad thing about it was that it was a complete dog when it was new, and hadn't improved with age. Truly awful thing, not a single redeeming feature. Damn those rose tinted retro-spectacles.

Still, sold it at a good profit!
