    Hi all
    Newby here
    I have an absolutely original never been painted mint 1972 T120v
    Genuine 1600 miles
    There is still the original gold made in England sticker on the frame
    Been stood in a carpeted room for at least the 20 years I've known my daughter's father in law with the carbs and tank drained before storage.
    Cleaned the tank as there was the slightest of dusting inside
    Changed all the oils Castrol in both gear and engine fitted new battery took some finding for the right size,fuel pipes and give a clean with warm soapy water
    Fired up almost immediately
    Ran lumpy first few mins then after a short 10 mile run it's as sweet as a nut. Front brake took a bit of bedding in but good as new now
    2 questions
    Does it need additive in the shell optimax and the million dollar one
    What's it worth

    Beautiful bike! About 10 grand USD plus or minus 5 depending on condition and someone's eagerness to to own it
