1980 Honda Britain CB750 F2 Phil Read Replica, 736cc. Registration number AVH 415V. Frame number CB750G1013443. Engine number B750GE 1003375. When Phil Read won the Isle of Man’s inaugural Formula 1 TT on a works Honda CB750 in 1977 the stage was set for a special version of the manufacturer’s trend-setting superbike. As a result, Honda commissioned Colin Seeley to build a batch of replicas of Read’s winning machine. Not to be confused with the Seeley-Honda, which used a Seeley frame, the Phil Read Replica relied on special bodywork finished in ‘Honda Britain’ livery to set it apart from the standard production model. The Phil Read Replicas were painted red, white and blue, the same as the Honda Britain Racing Team, and were released in the spring of 1978. However, after building just 150 examples of the motorcycle, Read fell out with Honda over royalty payments and there was a surplus of components. The conversion from the standard F2 750 Honda consisted of the Phil Read type fairing and seat unit, alloy petrol tank, modified side panels, front mudguard and a Seeley reverse cone exhaust system. With thanks to Eva Seeley for the background. AVH was bought by our vendor in 2009 as part of his Honda collection and has been started up regularly. Its MOT history with DVLA goes back to 2006 at 13,226 rising to 13,632 in 2008. Recently partially recommissioned for the auction, the engine has been running smoothly although Spicers would recommend further safety checks before road use. Sold with the V5C.
