Beside the later oiltank and gearbox on the 1937, they are honest adverts.

I am following these aswell and must say that Australian adverts are more honest than the rest of the world.

Red 'un,
8" TLS front brake and Norton forks.
Seems to have a rev counter, which looks like it might be only decorative.
Claims to have all new bearings and gears in the gearbox. New gears?
The use of an 86mm Ducati piston is very interesting.
