I was amazes to see that a fairly rough basket case 16h Norton has reached such a high bid. Admittedly there are two engines but it is not so long ago when you could by a complete restored bike for this amount. It is at item no. 221008068995 . Cheers John

Oh, that's just fucking ridiculous, pardon my French.

With nine days to go as well. I wonder why it's a private listing ?

Those engines are a bit dubious and the whole thing looks like it's been dug out of a Cairo rubbish tip...

What's the highest price that we've seen a WD16H go for ? I couldn't imagine any, even in the hands of a dealer, fetching more than £6000...and this ones going to need more than £3000 spending on it.

Nice whitewall tyres.

The left hand bottom fork link looks a little bent which is worrying.

I suppose I should up the 3.5k insurance value on my M20 Rob.

Could it be someone wants the gearbox and has made a calculation on what they could sell the remainder for as seperate pieces on e bay?...or could the top bidder actually be a dumbass?...Who knows?.
If it is properly restored as a WD16H after purchase it may well end up as the most expensive WD16H on the planet...a dubious accolade...Ian

A third option, his mates are pushing the price up in order to attract the idiot buyer..... Nice investment guv! just look at the rising prices.

Well it sold last time for £3,300...though it didn't actually move anywhere..It's still the same seller...
No pictures of the engines for some reason.
Ok if you like the challenge of a restoration from a complete basket case..but not at fancy money...Ian
