This is an original survivor. The sheet metal is original paint but I had to repaint the frame as there was to much paint damage and I wanted to ensure its continued preservation.
I brought them home as a precaution before IAN hit SWFL. I will reluctantly deliver them for the display after a quick trip out West. Soon to come will be a Renne Sport replica, police White R 50/2 and a Granada Red R 60US. I must not leave out the Rat Ride either, it is a true abomination.
I saw a nicely done Rennesport Replica at the Bloomsburg National Rally 11 or so years back and wanted to try my hand at one ever since. I began in earnest about 3 months ago shortly after getting a spare R 50/2 motor. It's time to make fender brackets and get the fender and seat mounting squared away so I can get some paint on body work. Clip-ons, shift & brake linkage will be done locally.
