As in a representative, or reproduction? You will need to be more specific as to what you want Bunky.

Hi Bunky, 

Colin provided a verification service for his Seeley Honda 750 for a donation to the "The Joan Seeley Pain Relief Memorial Trust" (Joan was Colins first wife, cancer).  Colin remarried and his widow, Eva, was continuing this service.  Whether his records extend to the Phil Read rep. I don't know.  A place to start.  Also read this boards "Seeley" thread, loads of info there.

Cheers Geoff

There's no database of them, their details were never recorded as Seeley sent the PRR (and Honda Britain) kits out to dealers to fit to whatever bikes they wanted. Someone did try to start up a club register a few years ago, I'm not sure what happened to it. If you are in the VJMC there are usually adverts in the mag from someone who produces the body kits still, so if you need spares or want to create a new PRR then you could start there
