No docs, but pictures of it on file racing at Cadwell, etc, back in the 70s. It starts very easily and the engine sounds great. Some high-spec bits were fitted, like the finned front brake and rev counter. It sounds very throaty with the open pipes. This is the real deal in terms of a vintage racer. The tank has a leak, so that needs attention. But I think this could be sorted and ready to race with a weekend&#8217;s work. It is a lovely, unmolested pre-war racer. 07718 593259. No PayPal or credit cards, and yes I can arrange for a courier to drop it at your door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1938 250cc Rudge Racer.
