Hi Jon,Jeffrey,
I've checked on the VOC machine database for you but we still don't have any club member declaring they have it.
It's frustrating as it could be in someone's shed somewhere. Anyway lets hope it turns up soon for you.
Thanks

NigelHi Jon,
Could you please provide a quick clarification regarding the VOC machine registration database that may help myself and others. I too, am searching for a missing UFM (if anyone has UFM R3721 lurking in their shed please contact me). So far Simon Dinsdale has been very helpful with responding to my inquiries and has provided all history currently held by VOC. However, does the VOC machine registry hold information on complete bikes only, or do you also keep a list of incomplete engine and frame numbers that may not be currently registered under any road going (or SORN) vehicle? If you do maintain a list of incomplete frame and engine numbers, I wonder how many VOC members are not aware of this that may be able to come forward with 'spare parts' that they currently hold and are being sought by others. Also may help (we can always hope) to stop unscrupulous individuals restamping bikes to make matching numbers machines if incomplete numbered parts are traceable.
many thanks
Nigel
