I've just been looking at some of my 1980's Bishops Castle photos.
I recoln that the bulk of the paint date from the mid 1970's when it was painted at Johnsons of Banks by Bob Horthornwaite.
The canopy has certainly seen some attention, it is a different dynamo, and of course Mr Dreelan has his crest on the tank.
But the rest looks pretty much identical to the paint job in my photos. No doubt with touching up and varnish. It certainly is beatifully kept.
Didn't Alan Painter do Cock of the North?.
