Superlight No.190 for sale £18,500 26,800 miles (FB market place)

Superlight #190 Kseries 133bhp in Orange. I’ve had her for around 5 years during which time she has been taken care of by NJ Potter of Lubbenham. She came to me from Sevens and Classics, Brands Hatch.

Latest MOT was done in Feb 2022 at which time I had a brand new set of Avon ZZS fitted. These tyres have only seen a couple hundred miles pass since then. Current Mileage 26800.

Looking for £18500
