The vendor has provided the following:

This is an ex-Bristol Police bike ridden by the current owner in the early 1960s during the ten years he was a police officer and before he became a professional engineer. It was bought by him in 2006 and completely rebuilt to its original appearance. The dummy radio set on the tank is a faithful replica, modeled on police photos. The bike has a new 12-volt Sparks alternator, a Morgo oil pump, new wheels, a new seat, an Avon screen, twin spark ignition, and 12-volt 'Power Box' electrics. The speedo was reconditioned (by H.Woods) and the mileage reset to zero. Since the rebuild, completed in 2018, the bike has done less than 200 miles. Some photographs of the rebuild have been provided.
