Rare, original UK CT3. was created by Gr8uncleal
Not many of these sold, even fewer left.
The bike was first registered in August 1973.
Rear light will, I think, be unique to the UK, the seat won't be the same as US, lights on/off is on the left switchgear and note the blue high beam lens.
I'm tempted, but looks like a lot of work!

You're right there--looks like a lot of work. Exhaust appendage looks same as one model of AG175 we had in NZ but our AG's had it side-on so it spat oil over the tire. Not sure about 21 wheel on the front as 18 was std & 19 on our AG's. Seat looks bloated like it's been re-upholstered with a bit of padding added. Tacho is off something else yamaha. Maybe i'm just getting picky in old age. If it's rare & ya want it--well--there it is.
Here's a random pic off the net which shows exhaust extension.

Seat is probably correct - Euro, like Japan, got the twin seat + strap. Likewise the tacho is correct, just the way the photos are taken.
