Back into our workshop for a second time is Will’s tatty but handsome and mostly original 1980 Dawes Galaxy. Two years have passed since we first overhauled this classic sports tourer – during which time some b*stards stole the original large flange hubbed wheels – this time it’s come in for a quick lube &
