When Phil Read won the 1977 TT on a CB750F2 Honda decided to make race replicas (FRR) and commissioned Colin Seeley to undertake this and some 150 were produced before a falling out with Reed and Honda halted the production. There surplus components and Eric Sulley of Honda decided to carry on production with minor changes, a new paint scheme and re naming the bike the “Honda Britain 750 SS”. In November 1978 Colin received an order for 50 machines in red and white, and 50 machines in blue and white. The conversion from the standard F2 750 Honda consisted of the Phil Read type fairing and seat unit, alloy petrol tank, modified side panels, front mudguard and a Seeley reverse cone exhaust system. The total production run for these machines was 225, with the first models reaching dealerships in early 1979.
This machine was owned by David Clayton in 1986, then Simon Carson in 2003, our vendor buying it as a project in the same year. Buyers should satisfy themselves as to whether it is a true Honda Britain and the completeness of the project.
