+ 33% total fees etc. I'm sure some fool will part with some of his/her inheritance !
Be interesting to see if it goes within that range.
May be time to get mine cleaned up and repainted

I think the number is 18%. 15% plus vat is 18%, still a big number.+ 33% total fees etc. I'm sure some fool will part with some of his/her inheritance !
There is a G/S Paris Dakar from the same collection in the auction…..£20k
Is that not a Mikeyboy restoration
I wonder what planet they’re on?
Shush guys
I’ve used this advert to justify to Mrs S that my project is worth investing in

someone trying to get all their rebuild money back.....that won't happen.
It’s a nicely done build.
But they won’t get their costs back, especially factoring in labour time.

Not one I’ve worked on.
Both g/s and g/s pd look great….. but so clean that if I owned them I would be afraid to ride them in case they got dirty, scratched, bashed etc…..
But if I won the lottery, I would still want one of them in my garage, for use on good weather days only.

The PD went for £22420 including buyers fee.
The Dunkel Blue G/S bids stoped at £15K so seller did not sell

I saw the bikes at Shuttleworth on Saturday, the day before the auction. They are absolutely spotless, I mean totally as new. Goodness knows how much they cost to get to that state. Lovely, but if I owned such a spotless classic I’d never ride it.
My old g/s I thumped around Salisbury Plain and other off-road trips at UKGSer events. I’d never do that with one of those at that price, so what’s the point?
My fav airhead at the auction was this one:

The surprising thing in the auction for me was the Vincents and the Brough. They seemed cheaper to me than days of yore. For example, this Vincent Series B Rapide went for less than than the PD g/s:
