Hi
Hope someone can help. I've just bought an old honda 50 out of a shed. The plate was on it but the numbers are gone. I've shied away from other classics because of this but this time I'm not prepared to let this one go without a fight. Its an old early 60's model and their too rare to let go now.
Any info would be appreciated
Thanks
I'm open to correction, but on vehicles of that era, a frame/engine no search isn't sufficient - the reg is the starting point to start looking.........
Whilst this may have been in a shed for years, is there no possibility of discerning what the numbers (might) have been, with careful exam of the number plate (shadowing etc) ??
Failing that - do you know who owned it, the family - anything..... ? It is entirely possible as, when they were new, they were very proudly possessed by their owner's, and someone in the house would have taken a photo of it......I know my Dad did with his first Beetle, in 1963.......
Don't give up that easy ! Do a CSi (fada) on it !
And, in the same vein....some of the older generations locally have great memories for stuff like that....'oh I remember the day Seanie brought home the new Honda....the whole village was out to see it....' etc. No, really.....you'd be surprised........Ode To The Motorist

Thanks Galwaytt
I think your probably right about the reg being the all important number. The front "razor blade" was removed at some stage and it's possible that it was replaced by stick on numbers on either side of the front mudguard. It's coming
out into the light of day on Saturday and I'll be very careful about cleaning until I see if its possible to glean any info from that.
I'm not going to give up. I've let myself be discouraged in similar circumstances and I'm not going to do it this time.
I love the lateral thinking by the way. Info like that would make the bike sooo much more interesting.
No prob - I 'rescued' a Honda 90 years ago for someone. Well, it had been parked for 15+ years, so naturally I pumped tyres, put in petrol and 3 kicks later............rode it home. (Well it IS a Honda !! )
10yrs later - still unrestored iirc - it's still going.......
Anyhoo, there's no rear reg plate ? Anywhere ? Check on shelf's, on the wall, behind paint tins.......the usual place where people put small 'stuff' in a garage.........did it fall down behind a press, or, or........get the idea ?Ode To The Motorist
