All I would say , being new to the role of Machine Researcher, is buyer beware.
ALLWAYS get your numbers checked with either Simon Dinsdale or myself before parting with your hard earned cash. I can't believe how many incorrect/restamped bikes pass before our eyes. Remember it's a free service from the VOC and you can sometimes get an answer within minutes.
Have your bike numbers ever been checked?, if not send us photographs of the UFM RFM, engine and Crankcase mating numbers and we'll tell you what it is or maybe isn't.
Is that UFM on your shelf in your workshop really what you think it is?
Does your missing frame number or engine still exist?
Anyway back to the bikes above, when I get to my computer I'll check the numbers given and come back to you.

Hello Jon, I don't think we have met, But talking of Numbers, My first Twin I bought in 1965, I think.
I still have it, But the Rear Frame numbers are really Small !!,
I have been around Vin's for many years, And never seen the like,
It was ONLY 15 years old when i bought it, And we never worried about numbers back then,
I guess it could have been in a crash and replaced,
Just saying after all these years who knows.
Dear old John Marshall used to check our numbers at the race track and rally's, He took mine so often, He had my Engine number in his head !!, But never said anything about the rear frame, He may have only been taking the Engine numbers ?. Cheers Bill.
