Looking at an early loopframe. Owner says it is an early 750cc, but it
is titled as a 1969, and does not say Ambassador. He thinks it might
have been a V7 with a 750cc upgrade. How can I be sure?
I think the carbs are different than my Eldo has as well. Any way to
find serial numbers/production runs?
Would any of you hesitate purchasing one this early in the production
cycle for durability reasons?
Opinions?
I have Ambo #13283, with small side covers, big tank, and square del
Ortos. Ambos were almost literally a transition from the V700 to the
Eldo. Early Ambos share features with the V700, and later ones shared
Eldo stuff.
The engine and frame numbers should identify it. I would say buy it if
the price is reasonable.
