    Is it just the engine you are working on or the whole bike?

    I had a super sports back in the 70s the tank was in metallic turquoise blue, with a rack.
    I loved that bike,so I’ll be keeping a keen eye on this thread.

    It was a 68 SS Aquamarine,but not sure what it was over..
    I’ve got a vague recollection of cream but there again it could have been silver?
    It had a TPR reg which was Dorset
