Re: Off Topic

I find an estimate of £100-£200 pretty low for this machine...I should think there are James and 2 stroke enthusiasts prepared to pay a lot more for what appears to be a nice genuine machine..and not at all common...Ian

Partly the reason for my decision to list it.

Re: Off Topic

An interesting machine, I wonder if its a typo and should read £1000-£2000.

Re: Off Topic

hi,judging by whats sold already,i think they need to improve on their valuations,apart from the little james,lot 223 a triumph 6s sv est £300-500, 228,gold star scrambler est£600-800.229 a 350 gold star db 32 est£400-600,and 230 a manx framed cb34 gold star with history at est £1000-1400,
264 is a tidy looking m21 est£2000-2400
i think lot 263 will fair better than the estimated £1800-2200
for a model 8 sunbeam,then there are a few vinnys and a ss100 brough superior,they(bonhams)will as always make a nice butty
