JUNE 2022
....Our 2 1/2 years restoration project finally nearing completion. New tool box, fuel tank, battery box fitted. A few minor adjustments and sign writing to complete the finishing touches. Then our grand old lady The 1904 YORK is ready for rallies and shows.
(We are still trying to locate a friction driven ignitor-generator. At the moment the engine is happily operating on battery/coil.)
