Hi all
Motor on and running. Not the original motor but I think the Villiers looks the part and does the job.
Taking it to its first display with our club at our local show next weekend.
Cheers

G'day Benm

That looks fantastic!
I totally agree about the engine - and I have no doubt it was an
option in the day. I love the round fuel tank too!

I hope you get some good photos (to share) at the next local show,
including detail shots.

Just brilliant!

Hi all again.
It has come time for me to part with this project.
I have a price in my mind but pwould like to know what others opinion on price would be and if there would be much interest in it.
I thank you for opinions

Hello Benm

That's a shame - but nothing can last forever.
Many thanks for giving us great words and images - to record this
rare machine.

I'm useless at pricing [Dr Evil keeps whispering '1M dollars' in my ear]
I do know SB sold these for �328/3/9 in 1964. The Inflation Calculator puts this
at $8,864.11 in today's money.

I suspect this is of no help whatsoever to you.
I hope the machine goes to a good home.

Hi Jack, I think that sort of calculation only works on certain things like GT Falcons, Toranas and the Bumble Bee Commodores

Wouldn't it be nice though.
Where would the best place to be to list it for sale?

Hello BenM

I guess the best place would be as many places as possible.

The important thing here is that you have detailed provenance -
the story of your machine.

The trick is to match a prospective buyer to that.
After all, it's not a common machine is it?

You are welcome to link your topic [here] to any advertisement.

Best of luck in the market place.
