Now by looking at the badges shown and the link they are the D2/D3 type
My mudguard by perusal of above method is or say was of the later D2/D3 type

Or was there some compromises on the production line :idea:

As far as I remember this was a D3 with about 1200 miles on it with original toolkit, handbook etc. John Oldcorn ahd a few low mileage Zeds as I recall he flogged them all because he emigrated. Someone else may know more. Sorry about the crappy scan this was quite small in the magazine.

Chris, my Z1B is an ex John Oldcorn bike. He had some of the nicest un-restored bikes, incl that Z1R.
