The spinning tour of this unfortunate Mastra V35, does rather serve to illustrate the risks with using these old relics. Just occasionally we have the odd accident. A couple have been stolen, the Advocate ended up in a moat (it survived the dunking!), one was destroyed totally, and this Mastra fell from a motorcycle pannier, as the dent in one end of the top housing attests. Since the LICM started, it's the third recorded drop. All three survived to fight another day. Let's just call it "healthy patina" and be done with it.
