Did you get this sorted? I have a zinnobar one sat in my shed. Could do with a polish! But last time I checked it was rust free, but need to check to be sure. Came from a touring but should be the same?

I have loads of bits form the touring. I'm in Ely, Cambridgeshire so shout if any good for you.

Cheers
Dave

You have mail ( I hope! )
I think I deleted one before it sent - there should be 2 shots of scuffs on the front and side edge where it used to catch on the roof. Let me know if they don't come through!

I've just been looking at photos on my phone and found a photo before it finally went off to be turned into bean cans - one slighly lighter than normal Zinnobar touring:

LOL - It did cause a few of the neighbourhood curtains to twitch. The wife wasn’t so pleased either, I had to roll it back around the side of the house on trolley jacks each evening! She was concerned about me lowering the tone of the street, particularly as there were a couple of people trying to sell their house at the time!

One particular time I came around from the back of the house (having taken armfuls of striped parts to the garage) to find two old boys stood on the driveway looking at each other through the empty engine bay! They were fascinated by it.

Up until I moved in, ”˜serious car maintenance’ in our street meant washing and vacuuming the car.
