It was relisted as it only had two bids , both bellow the reserve , i contacted the seller and offered him £1200, he would not sell for less than £1500. I umed and ared all week and tried to offer him £1300 , he would not drop the price even by a quid , but to be fair i can see why, the car is beautifull.
In the end i knew his reserve was £1500 so i bid that amount . And won it , i collected it tonight.
Maybe i paid too much , but i realllllly wanted it . Apart from the drivers seat frayed as they all are and a blow on the exhaust and a small crack in the widscreen it is mint and has service history every mot cert and origonal bill of sale from 1991 for £3777.00 .
In the end its about having something you love , this is my 3rd bis , my 7 year old son and 3 year old daughter love them . I was gutted to sell my last one. And for £1500 how much can you loose?
I thought if i paid £600 for a crapper , even a respray would cost me £1000 as i cant paint , this one has perfect origonal paint.
Maybe you think im mad , but you only live once and it was this or a new motorbike and as i want to be here to see the kids grow up this seemed a safer bet.
As for the same ones turning up , i think there is a lot of crap ones about , which dont sell , or people buy them with all good intentions but soon realise that its a lot of work to polish a turd.
