Hill Special has arrived

[ozboz]

So I got it today , in the box was an envelope with some interesting info ,pics transfers frame registration with Hiill enthusiasts site etc , the envelope was from Robin Hatherall (the Marque guru for Hill Specials , ) to the previous owner , who had got the frame around 2005 and was going to restore it , but I believe the years got the better of him so he abandoned the task . Lots of good stuff In there

Head badge transfer s
and 2005 registration doc

The frame as it is now

The fame as it was when previous owner got it, below that The old chap in photo at the top of post ( who was not the previous owner ) with a small write up about him
