THANKS

Rob .
I just got that book its worthless ,only one page about Rod Coleman. the rest about other folks , The I am after is talked about in the paper work I just got with an 7R that is meant to be one of the works bikes that Rod took back with him to NZ and that paperwork talks about " The Coleman Book" it might be a family book from the Coleman family .
I will try to upload the poster that came with the bike.

Hi Peter I just saw the pic, but did not make the connection with that and this topic. Have you looked here for anything of interest
