Series D advert

[Diogenes]

" I think it was taken when the photos were taken outside the Roebuck at Broadwater.
Remember the advert "a Knight at the Roebuck" just before launch at 1954 show."

I have read the above comment on a photo of an enclosed D.

I have no recollection of ever seeing any reference to "the Roebuck at Broadwater".
Does anyone any idea about the pre 1954 Show adverts?
Any shown in books, magazines etc?

I do not yet have access to the book on VIN Adverts by David Wright.

I'm not sure it is what you are after but I think that I still have either a 'Green Un' or a 'Blue Un' with that advert in it. It would probably take some time to find it!

Maybe this is it............

That's the one and the number on the foreground bike is interesting as I have TNK 859, the prototype Knight.

A guy in So Cal had (maybe still has) an early enclosed D. I took a few pictures of two features he said were different than on later ones. I am not sure what he was referring to about the reflector. Too bad I didn't get the full reg no.

What is the number of open 'D' Shadow? I know who has the first one and it may be this one.
