Very nice find, the color seems to be the trademark team purple and i like the condtion of the lining and lettering on the frame, which are very similar to the one that can be (almost not) seen on mine (http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/martl/automoto/) Fork crown and lugs are not Automoto-typical, the shape of the seatstay lugs is identical to the ones on my bike, though. someone at Automoto built a track machine from Nervex lugs for a team rider? But then why equipped with all-english parts... some mystery :) serial numbers are on the same places as on my bike too, mine got "40/61" at the BB shell and some 6-digit nr at the dropout.
hints anyone?
