Thanks Mr Grimly, That does help.. I quite like the black / silver one..

So they were available in other colours then? These can't all be repainted??

I'm thinking a darker silver / grey colour

The black/silver and the plain black (no stripes) are repaints, i think, the others are as factory( i think) the stripes are not the sort of thing you can get off ebay which makes me think they are original. As they were Svo they were all different :o

Not a clue !! mine was first one i'd seen over here. Have asked about but as they were built in germany nobody has any records over here. So your guess is as good as mine

This week was the first time I was able to get to Germany and actually get my teeth into it a bit. It's now running (on 12 year old fuel!) and this morning I have brought it over to England. Here are the update photos:
