Hi Brian,

Welcome to the Club firstly!

There is no definitive date or frame number as such but from the Club Records and the UK FS1-E Register, that we are the custodians of, we estimate that it is around frame number *394-08000* as we have a late Sept 1973 M-Reg SS (frame number beginning 394-0074XX) and I own an early "FS1-E" badged which is February 1974 (frame number beginning 394-0081XX)

Hope that helps?

hi Per
Yes that's a great help as my mate can also identify his m reg bike which has been owned by him for 30 yrs. was hand painted red when he bought it. I,am desperately trying to get him to restore her
thanks brian
