Re: frame number

thats good, it matchs up with the northern ireland command rebuild stamp on the gearbox for 1960,

the tax disc with the bike is for 68,and 68 registration for Nottingham, so it went from longkesh to Nottingham from 67-68.

My bike after being released by the government was first sold in Nottingham, on Feb 1966 to Dawson Cars and Motorcycles, Shakespears Street.
