Seller says :
"ORIGINAL FRAME WAS DAMAGED AND RUSTED THROUGH , AND DO NOT HAVE IT" ,
"THIS COULD BE USED ON AN ORIGINAL FRAME WITH NO NUMBERS ON IT"....well clearly, as we all know by now with all the information / experiences of members on this forum, that would not be legitimate as far as DVLA are concerned.

Accompanied by a picture of what seems to be a very nicely repainted late Square 4 frame!
How odd.

SG

The frame in the photo is 1953 or earlier as it does not have the step in the top tube which accommodates the SU carb used from 1954 - onwards. This does not encourage faith in the vendor.

I assume the frame is the 1952 one that the Ebay seller has up for sale here as a 'basket case' assortment of Square 4 parts:

Alan, I’ll check this out

Cheers mate, probably worth a DVLA marker as the seller says the original frame was rotted out so the reg should not reappear on anything else

Cheers

Done.

Thanks for that
