September 25, 200718 yr Hi all,, I have managed to lay my hands on a very early Seeley..! frame number 1003 This makes it the third bike to be made by colin seeley,.. It has the larger fuel tank that i believe was enlarged especially for the Scotish 6 day trial, But who rode them?.. how many Seeley's were made with this larger tank? What happened to the first 2 bikes made?.. and where are they now? I would like a bit more history of my bike, i think i may have the earliest Seeley still left in this country! "I bet Big John will know" :-) thanks all : Scrumpy
September 25, 200718 yr You were quick off the mark buying that bike, i enquired as soon as i saw it on ebay and it was sold already!!!
September 25, 200718 yr Author Yes i paid a premium to get it there and then, and had a 600 mile round trip.. i saw it at 8.30am and was on my way cash in hand by 8.55am, ! "one of the joys of working for yourselfe" I get a real kick out of rebuilding bikes too a high standard, then selling them and moving on to the next project, but this Seeley is in the best condition out of all the Seeley"s i have owned, it has had very little use, so it will be an easy restoration.. watch this space and i will post some pics soon.

True the larger capacity fuel tanks were made for the SSDT, I should be able to check who rode Seeleys in the trial but I doubt if anyone could confirm if that bike was used.

September 25, 200718 yr Author So John does that mean that you have the first two Seeleys made..? or you would like to have them?.. i heard they had left the country Scrumpy
September 25, 200718 yr No I don't own the first two Seeley Hondas made, nor do I really desire to own them, I'm happy with the two I do have. Big John
