Good grief! A tie under a pullover and a dust coat - Post Office technician? Storeman? They still sold Ramblers,that'd be the Rebel,nice car - don't tell Cherokee owners they have the same motor as a Rambler Rebel! I see an AT1,a couple of years later I bought a brand new CT2,the 175 version,with reed valves! Dunno what the front tyre is on the Mach III,but I don't like it.Dunno what you could compare owning a Mach III back then to these days,a Rocket III maybe....if you wanted acceleration,this was it,nothing would come close.

I would say a 1974 H2, a 1970 H1, and a 1971 H1A....
close?

Not overly familiar with the H2 range, but I would also suggest a H1 and a H1A. From memory, the H1B was the first disk braked model (with single disk.)

The 1969 & 1970 H1s had the scalloped out tank and the 71 had flat panel tank. Easiest way of telling. I'm also not overly up with H2's but think that's what it is.

(also the 69's were white and 70's were red)

It's amazing what the memory does when jogged. I can now visualise the original White tanked model. The "Kawasaki" lettering and the colour band where a dark Blue.

Nice to know that the vino hasn't killed all the brain cells yet.

Just seeing that pic of the restored red one makes me want to restore one even more.
I know it would be a mammoth task, but nothing is impossible, is it..
