They need a lot of tidying up, both engines need work - should be fun and it'll keep me off the streets for a while

Good find.
Does the dusty lid come with the dusty bikes?
Looks like its been there as long as the bikes have

I don't think I'll keep the lid, although it's not nearly as bad as the one that came with my James; open faced White number with matching mouldy liner!
