Black bars and forks, black engine, spoke wheels and label.
Label on RHS looks like it may have been pealed
What do you think Tinman, Motorman or anyone else would you call this a bleach job?? if so are you aware of any 'tell tale' signs of a bleachig?

The chrome is applied when very hot liquid - certainly when it has come off wheels, looking under a magnifying glass the plastic is never as smooth as plastic hwich has never had hot chrome applied. Try looking with a magnifyer and compare with some Lesney plastic of any colour that you know has never been subjected to the heat of plating process. I agree, based on photos, plating could have been removed from this mc

Hello SMS88,
no sign of chrome with a magnifying glass and it looks identical to the seat of the same model and identical to the black handle bar version plastic too.
