After a bit of help - Info ...
Hi Ian.
I noticed your superb Guardsman Red Supertwin, over in the Superheat thread.
Can I ask a favour - if the machine is easily accessible, can you confirm for me what the model/MK number is for me?
Hi all.
I am trying to identify once and for all what the model/MK numbers are for the early (MkI) Supertwin models, which were on sale in the UK between 1959 and 1962.
MK19 was the heated 1959 first version, which later became MK27 around 1961, but I am after confirmation of model/MK numbers for the following:
1959 unheated
1961 unheated
Guardsman Red
Horizon Blue
Lemon Peel Yellow
& Almond Green
For all I know, they could all still have been called MK19.
I know examples of most of the above are preserved, but many machines are held in storage sites, which are currently out of bounds.
If you happen to have examples of any of the above versions to hand and getting to them is relatively easy (please don't empty garages or rooms to get to them), then I'd be really grateful for the info.
All to help with a small project I am working on at the moment.
Regards to all.
Paul
p.s another question off the top of my head - was there ever a gas heated version of the (MkI) Supertwin, or was the (MkII) MK31 the first Servis gas twintub?
