The very first production model TY250A to be sold was stamped 434-000102. Here is a photo of #102 nearly 35 years after it rolled off the assembly line.. I found it in the mud in a salvage yard overseas about a year ago.. Its currently soaked in CRC but will be going to my restoration guy in a few weeks for the full treatment.. I will post photos when its finished if anyone is interested..

Hi Gazam.. Thanks for posting the brochure, I have a few of them here, I was lucky enough to get a heap of stuff from Mick Andrews when he had his retirement cleanout..
