Sounds about right to me them things are going for an arm and a leg and other body parts thrown in as well  ................probably end up in a museum or private collection which be a bit of a waste

Aye Richard,

Looks about right to me!

A seized 1951 Rapide(?) last ridden in 1955 and un-molested, but dry stored since, made £30,000 about 2 - 3 weeks ago on Fleabay! Surface rust and various bits of excrescence (mmmmm self-moderation! ) were in evidence.

If you require a cheaper fix or something to LUST over (calm down 002! ) then may I recommend a copy of MSL May 2010 issue? Cathcart article on a Godet Egli-Vincent 1332cc Sport machine!!!!! I'm afraid this has left me slavering! However, the price starts at EU50,000! It will also probably have a better rate of interest than any bank account and you can enjoy it!

You might also enjoy the road test of the Norton 961, with the Fergie gearbox (remember Hesketh?).

Toodle pip, Bill.
