My search for bikes which, like mine, left the factory with black enamelled steel sports-section guards unearthed six, and someone who had actually owned one, a Comet. What little evidence there is suggests they were all produced in early 1951. I've posted a picture of mine, now re-united with its original guards, under 2009 Miscellaneous, Series C. Self-praise is no honour, but I think it looks handsome.
