Going to be in the UK this weekend, not too far away from Shepton Mallet, worth a drop in?

Very good question!
It's some kind of BSA that looked like it had been half buried in a ditch for many decades, Bonhams have/had it up for auction. It was mostly still mud since it would have collapsed under a gentle hosing. I thought the auction was on the Sunday but have had a look at their website since then and nothing.
(My mate Kieran thought it had fallen off a landing craft in 1944 and only just been found on some foreign beach )

Near enough, but not quite

https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/23600/preview_lot/4925960/

Hoping for over €20K :eek:

Sorry for dragging this up again but found the auction results

https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/23600/lot/301/

€53,000 :eek::eek::eek:

Edit: There is a buyer's premium of 20% which might have added another €10,600 plus VAT of 20+% giving a final price of €76,320 (I'm open to correction).

I'd rather buy a new one for 250,000....at least you get a free service...:)

That bike's gonna need more than a service!
