Colin Seeley, a sidecar racer and motorcycle dealer, created some special edition road bikes. His collaboration with Honda resulted in the production of a limited number of specially-finished motorcycles known as the Honda Britain or CB750SS. These bikes were based around the Honda CB750 F2 engine but featured a custom chassis designed by Seeley. The goal was to create a lighter, better-handling, and more visually appealing motorcycle than the standard CB750 four. The Phil Read Replica, a TT Formula 1 race-styled roadster, was one of the notable models produced during this collaboration.

This 1979 Honda Britain was purchased by its first and only owner on 2nd August 1979 from Willenhall Motorcycle Centre, Wolverhampton. The owner spotted an advertisement in one of the motorcycle papers at the time and rang Willenhall Motorcycles to see if they could order one for him. Several weeks later he was lucky, as they could get hold of one at the cost of £2,018.00. The current vendor used the Honda on many trips to the Isle of Man for TT week. As time went on, it was used less and less and his brother-in-law started to use it on the occasional sunny day. Last used in 2011, it has been stored since then. It has been run from time to time to keep the oil moving around. The silencer rotted out very quickly and as there was not a replacement available at the time, so a new stainless one was fabricated by a family member. In need of recommissioning before placing back on the road, it comes complete with a current V5C, a handbook and one key.
