[Kenboxertwin]

Two years age while in Normandy I found this in the barn at a farmhouse Gite complex near Trun. I bought it last week when we stopped off on the way to Saumur.

Its an ex army Armstrong MT500 1987 put in the barn in 2001, it started 10th kick with a flat battery and stale fuel.
Hope to get it back to UK next month to start playing IF I can kickstart it :woohoo:

No the frames on the DT50s were red or black, never brown.

Unless the previous owner had it powder coated brown. :unsure:



There's a beautiful barn on a farm down the road from me that only has a small lock on the door.

I will post what I find tomorrow. B)
