How much did it go for Michael? I saw a while back that it was going to be up for auction, but didn't hear any more after that. Was Mick Matchless really in Dads Army? 
£62,000!! That's a fair old chunk of cash. 
£62,000 That is a lot of money.I seem to remember he drilled holes in the sides and roof as well to stick thier bayonets through!
Blimey Mick, that's an historic bike! To have seen all that history and be imotalised on screen too, thats a unique bike.
I know the episode it's in, it's the one where they are going to make the presentation to the Russian visitor and Wilson keeps crashing the Matchless into ditches! I seem to remember an episode where they were messing about with their version of the Panjandrum and I think there was a G3L on that too, is that the same bike? 
I know its been said before, but this just goes to demonstrate that we don't actually own these bikes at all, we are just the temporary custodians. The history goes on and one day your lad will be responsible for looking after it and adding to its story.
I hate to bring it up, but after Jones Van going for £62,000, it does raise the question of money? I wonder if the bike ever came onto the market, which story would add more to the bikes market value? Would it be its wartime exploits or the fact that it once had John Le Mesurier sat on it?
£62,000?...Don't panic! Don't panic!... .There'll be an extra sausage in this for someone..Ian
