Genuine reason for sale - money required to invest in the restoration of other rare BSA models from roughly the same period. Also as I mainly attend track and rally events these days, I use another bike therefore this one is not used as regularly as it should be, so I've decided to let it go to another good home.
The bike is not being advertised elsewhere and therefore the auction will run the full course. A deposit of £1000 should be made immediately following the auction end via paypal or electronic transfer. Balance of monies to be received within seven days - bike will be released following clearance of final payment. The bike can be delivered within a reasonable distance for an agreed fee if required.
Please be aware that you are bidding to buy not just to view. I reserve the right to withdraw any bids from bidders with poor or no feedback. The bike can be viewed by prior arrangement, hence the longest auction running time being chosen. The bike is sold as seen and no guarantee or warranty is given or implied.
