401 Q - 1949
Few people ever seem
to throw out their old Flying Scot, unless it's comprehensively wrecked.
After years of lying in an attic and then behind the garage, this 1949
Flying Scot had reached a condition where most folks would give up any
thoughts of restoration, call it a day, and consign it to the skip.
Fortunately the owner of this 1949 machine had no such thoughts and not only had the frame restored to near perfect condition, but had it modified to allow the fitting of modern equipment, no small feat in itself.
