I don't know the Gillard numbering but based on the ancillaries etc... I would guess it to be a 1986 100cc Britain Kart. Note I'm assuming that most of the stuff below was on the kart from day 1.

o The fuel tank is mid 1980s vintage but most companies started phasing those out around 1987/1988.

o The bespoke kart manufacturer Tillet seats started coming in around 1986/1987... I had one similar on my 1987 Fullerton.

o The 'B' letter in the serial number and the 2 bearing axle would lead me to believe it was a Britain rather than a national kart.

They were a nice kart in their day and the TT27 was a great motor. Be careful with it if you've not drive 100cc kart before, the engines are extremely unreliable and need to be treated delicately. Expect around 2.5 hours between rebuilds if driven at race revs.

Gillards will be able to give you a better indication though... but hope this helps.
