This is not one of my restorations, but yes the chap who owns it has made a fantastic job of restoring it, a proper no expense spared job. I will be posting some more of other restored machines at this years Chipping Steam Fair event.

Late 70's. Barry Cosslett would know as he was agents for them years ago Jeremy

What year was it originally made?

[@1961Jezza]

Unfortunately the year of manufacture is unknown, the owner has even been in contact with Hitachi who no longer have the records themselves, my best guess would be late 70's to early 80's but that is just a guess.
