Here's a great shot taken by Drew's of his machine over a year ago but the scene could be from the late 50s/early 60s. This snapshot in time beautifully captures the motorcycle Mark built to specifications of a favorite Triumph street custom as showcased in rare footage from a late 50s car show. The peanut tank is especially unique as it is about an 1" narrower than a standard wassell peanut tank but dimensionally similar in both shape and appearance (the wassell tank's little brother)!

I have one of those tanks... you'll see em advertised as 1.8 rather than 2.0 gal wassel/hap jones in earlier mags
Dennis - I'd love to find one of those tanks myself and would pay $250.00 for a nice one. I'd really be interested in seeing the original ad and it would be cool to photograph the 1.8 gallon and 2.0 gallon tanks side by side for a comparison!
"Earlier mags" as in how early?
ahhhh the desert of coastal california :):):):)
Its the only coastal desert lot I know of but heck it looks like Palm Springs!
