Solvo Autosol

My 1970's tube of Autosol has finally run out - So today I bought another tube and guess what - It looks exactly the same as old one - even the box looks the same.

Only trouble is I don't have this to polish anymore - Why did I sell it for 50 quid.

I have inherited my dads tube, which I think is from the 70's also

I used to use about 2 tubes a year on my bike...!

I use Autosol on my 70s triumph

Shame you sold it for £50, was it a pre-unit construction t120?

!955 Tiger 110 pre unit with Bonnie head and 2x 1 1/8" Amal Monoblocks on - Mates used to work at BSA so brake shoes - headlight -chains- shocks - rear light -clutch plates and anything else I could scrounge was on it - We used to go to local chrome plating factory at lunch time and found some guys who would chrome anything for beer money. I got knocked off it and this is how it ended up after I got the payout and rebuilt it.

Do wish I could have kept it but cars and women took over.

Lol, it being customised makes sense, the forks look sturdier too!
