I hope they get in the queue behind me ....
Holdsworths's do attract more than their fair share of interest, many are nothing special really but make people of a certain age misty eyed as the bike of their dreams when they were kids, along with Carltons, certain Raleighs and Italian Exotica. A 'Professional' in such original condition with full Campag is certainly worth looking after especially as your Dad was its previous owner.
My '82 Elan is pretty average, it's comfortable, a joy to ride, goes quite well but gets really lairy over 40mph! But an awful lot of people stop me to ask about it.
If I had the cash I'd completely restore my late 50s 531 Plain gauge Holdsworth as the Lugwork is beautiful .... one day.
So yes, I'm a fan and would certainly like to own more.
