A reserve price is the minimum price the seller will accept. This price is hidden from bidders. To win, a bidder must have the highest bid and have met or exceeded the reserve price.
Well as you can see not bad for it's age, probably for some people a little cosmetic work would be needed. But it's all present and correct, and if you have seen the film clip you can see the bike running.
Starting the bike some times takes a little time as the carb sometimes floods, a little attention needed here it's a Amal carb and you can get all the parts. When the Bike is running it's fine. It's had a new front break cable and battery, all the electrics work. The rear tyre needs repair, but these look to have been on for some time and probably need replacing. The points and condenser looks to be the original ones and may also need replacement. The last time the Bike was on the road was 2001, it has been dry stored since then. Please note the registration on this Bike is transferable and has been valued at £800.
Since 1960 the Bike has only 4 previous owners. But please remember the bike is 50 years old and not brand new. Any questions or if you would like to view the Bike please contact me.
NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT BIT, PLEASE READ ON. IF YOU BID YOU BID TO BUY, THE PAYMENT WITHIN 7 DAYS FROM END OF AUCTION AND CASH ON COLLECTION AND COLLECTION ONLY.
A DEPOSIT TO BE PAID OF £100 VIA PAYPAL TO BE PAID ON THE SAME DAY AS THE AUCTION END. FAILURE TO DO THIS A SECOND CHANCE OFFER WILL BE SENT TO THE UNDERBIDDER.
IF YOU CAN'T FOLLOW THE ABOVE CONDITIONS, SIMPLY DO NOT BID.

Q: Hi, do you have a price you would finish the auction early at?
Thanks
Scott. A: Hi, to be fair there are Bidders and many watchers on this Bike now, so I think it would be unfair to stop the auction early, but thanks for the offer.
