I'm convinced that, if anything, vintage steel prices are still declining in real terms. And the weather hasn't even got really cold yet. Lets see what stuff is fetching on the far side of Xmas, when it's horrible outside and the credit card binge hangovers begin to appear. I reckon there are going to be some outstanding bargains around on nice but non-exotic machinery.

@SkipdiverJohn i couldn't agree more and it's not just the old Vintage & Classic's that will be effected either

Nice. Looks like a decent size too - 24" ctc? I'd guess 50's with a bit of an 80's revamp (resprayed?). With a 50 quid start on ebay I'm glad I'm not closer.

Must admit i am tempted but i just don't need another project and it's about 10 ish miles from me .
It's got the later decal's on so it might have had a coat of paint as well but who knows

i still have this one sat in the garage F R Russell

I reckon those rims might need replacing

But there are a spare set of wheels included

They should clean up well with elbow grease and a lot of wishful thinking.

Yes. I saw that. I was just making a lame joke.

Yeah, can't quite work it out. 40s with a 70s paint job? Also can't work out whether the forks are bent back or if it's just the angle of the camera...
