[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 10050, member: 586"] It appears a fellow called Keith Hazelton has been collecting the bits for a number of years. I am not sure if Mr. Hazelton is still the owner as there was some correspondence in 2007 regarding its sale. There was a fairly "energetic" discussion on JTAN recently about the fact the owner was seeking a set of replacement "B" cases to replace the "D" cases fitted. Apparently he wanted it to look like the Gunga Din of the late '40s early '50s. There would be some people in USA who know a lot more than me ( & some who think they do) but it appears that the present Gunga Din has a somewhat disjointed provenance. :rolleyes: I would be bold enough (some might say stupid) to say that it is nowhere near as original as the Dearden bike but an individual's attempt to replicate the original, albeit with some original "factory" parts.
