Sounds like its going to be in great condition with such low mileage

It begs the question, why did the previous two owners even have it in the first place? That's less than 90 miles a year! I've covered nearly 7000 in the last 12 months.

It certainly won't be worn out but do be careful that the tyres and belts haven't fossilized! It will nearly need running in again.
Should look pretty in Yellow, please post some photos. Good luck with it and happy miles.

Good question Mr G - I have a 620Sie also 2 owners with less than 3k on the clock from new I have put maybe 300 miles on it in 15 years I often wonder why I have it

Friend has one of those approaching 40k miles and its still running nicely - only issue was a cracked fork leg at one time which was replaced but nothing else
