Apart from discovering the finer details about my mystery Bottecchia, its ownership, manufacture, etc., it would be fascinating to learn more about my 1947 Hobbs. I would love to be able to look through a 'window into the past' and see the original owner of my new-to-me 1947 Hobbs of Barbican - now 84 - pick it up from the shop and take it out on its first ride, or touring through France in the late 1940's and early 1950's.
