Oh cool! Is yours a 221K too? After I got mine I started looking around at others. The only other tan ones I've seen online are 221Js. I know the K means it was made in Scotland. I don't know what the J means or what the difference would be between them. Yours is pretty too.

Mine is a 221k and has a Canadian made motor on it. I think the "J" means it was made in Canada, not sure though.
Her name is Freddy Barbara for the lovely people who sold her to me. I'd always wanted a tan FW.
Sharon W.

Then they really are twins! Mine has the Canadian motor and all. She doesn't have a name yet though.

Love the colour, what kind of tips did you get for cleaning it so nicely? Great find.

GoJo hand cleaner (non pumice) and paper towels. And then Meguiar's carnauba wax (I used Meguiars Deep Crystal System Carnuba Wax). Or you can go to a Harley Davidson dealership and get their glaze instead of the Meguiars.

I think somewhere Billy has a more extensive instructions on how to clean older machines.
