SILK 700S Sabre Mark 2
Owners Handbook.
Silk was a handmade 700c two stroke, water cooled, twin cylinder motorcycle made between 1974 and 1979.
The factory was at Silk Engineering (Derby) Limited. Boars Head Mill, Darley Abbey, Derby, England.
Each owners handbook was individually made for each separate machine.
This handbook is credited to Chassis Number 700S/1/11. That frame number corresponds correctly to Engine Number 700/12. The Mark 1 machines are donated by the /1/ in the frame number. The engine and frame numbers for the mark 1 bikes are always one number apart. The later Mark 2 machines have frame/engine numbers two digits apart. This was due to the 500cc and 800cc race engines that were built.
The book was issued in May 1977.
There are 10 chapters to the book.
Contents.
A/ Introduction.
B/ Description of Motorcycle.
C/ Technical Data.
D/ Controls and Adjustment.
E/ First 2000 Miles.
F/ Starting Procedures.
G/ Routine Maintenance.
H/ Wheel Removal.

Illustrations.
It is a 'Loose Leaf' book in a W.H Smith binder.
I believe that it is a factory photocopy of the original. But may be an owner photocopy.
The condition is 'good' to 'average'.
It is a rather amateurishly and crudely made manual, full of overtypes, corrections and additions.
This is the only Silk 700 owners handbook you'll ever likely to see for sale. It's certainly the only one I've ever seen.
All proceeds go to late friends widow.
STOP PRESS. On closer inspection I now believe it's a photocopy of a Mark one manual converted to late model cast wheel Mark 2 manual.
Sorry for the confusion, and many thanks to the Silk owners I've talked to.

Aston Martin V12 Zagato rolled out for the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este
Fri, 20 May 2011Aston Martin has rekindled its association with famed Italian design house and coachbuilder Zagato on a rebodied and re-engineered version the V12 Vantage.

Skoda Citigo (2011) first official pictures of Skoda's Up
Wed, 28 Sep 2011It's all about economies of scale these days, so don't be surprised that Skoda's whipped the covers off its take on the new Up city car just days after Volkswagen unveiled its own at Frankfurt. The new Skoda Citigo (see what they did there?) is the Czechs' sixth model line and will go on sale in UK dealers in summer 2012. Skoda Citigo: the lowdown The four-seater Citigo naturally shares most of its engineering DNA with the Up.
