1914 bike restored over 60 years

It took 84 year old Mel Reese 60 years but he finally managed to restore a rare 1914 Rover motorcycle, one of only three in New Zealand. Bought for 5 shillings in 1954 from a farmer north of Christchurch, the restoration is the result of lots of hard work and a team of helpers.
