Limited Edition models for the UK market...
CB750 Phil Read Replica, 1978
Having won the 1977 IOM TT F1 race with a CB750 based racer with Phil Read on board, Honda UK in conjunction with famed designer/builder Colin Seeley created this Limited Edition replica based on the CB750-F2 production model. Just 150 units were produced and it is believed that around 50 remain today demanding over £10,000 in top condition.
CB750SS Honda Britain, 1979
During 1979, following a disagreement over Phil Read Replica royalties the remaining allocation of CB750-F2's were created (again by Colin Seeley on behalf of Honda UK) into this stunning Honda Britain replica. Available at the time in two colour schemes of white/red and white/blue.
Price at introduction:
CB750 Phil Read Replica - £1,895.00 (UK, 1978)
CB750SS Honda Britain - £1,999.00 (UK, 1979)
