Rocking horse poo !

For anyone interested in my Bonneville restoration, I have removed the cylinder head, this morning. If you thought that the carbs were rare, take a look at this ! The casting patterns that were used for the single carb T110, in 1959, were modified, to create the twin carb, splayed Bonneville head.
In my Blip, you will see the casting flash marks, that would have been machined, to suit the manifold ,for the T110.  Later,of course, a brand new casting was made, for the production run of Bonnevilles,which makes this head the rarest of the rare !  the chances of finding another one of these early cylinder heads, is next to zero,  although, one new old stock one was on ebay, a couple of years ago, in America, for £3,000  !
