As a schoolboy, I used to drop in to Windsor Comp Shop on my way to the cafe a few doors down (worlds best chip butties). The shop was always full of Montesa's, Ossa's, Bultaco's, SWM's, Husqvarnas, MZ's and CZ's, a mesmerizing experience for the senses. Why else would a ex-pat Brit living in Florida without a hill or gully in sight buy a Sherpa T 350? Some dreams are cheaper than others, albeit a little late! My wife is offering to pay for for my psychiatric treatment! I loved that these machines were true workhorses, showing battle scars and remnants of mud camouflage. I guess there was a mix of customer bikes in for service, resales of 2nd hand bikes, but I can't remember any of them being shiny brand new. On a recent trip back to the UK in 2009 I drove over to Windsor from London in the hope of reviving old memories, so was very disappointed to find it no longer there. It would be great if anyone could share some photos. Thanks Charlie
