Welcome to the forum @Gav1n

 

My first ever bike, bought for me when I was 13, was a Greaves frame running a Villiers 250.

I learned (and bled) a lot from that machine.

The bottom Greaves is a TFS250cc 1964 The first one is a 1957 197cc and a really early production Scottish Number 7 off the line frame number 007

They're beautiful looking bikes, you must be proud to have them. 

There used to be a shop in Esher(?) that sold Villiers parts. 

Girls got in the way, and my bike vanished...

Can't guarantee it was Esher, it was definitely a nice part of north Surrey. I needed a key for a cam, I think it was to do with the points. Blimey, 40 odd years ago.
