Looks like the rere may have a cage molded in black instead of tan too. I'm just thankful that the chassis is original!! Looks good - anyone estimate street cost yet?

I think I'll be having one of these, should be great for the back garden. I'm thinking it would look great painted matt black.

Tower has them up for $189:-
