"Has been used as a boat anchor" shurely.

Closer examination revelas it's a B model, one of the last they made,
and so highly desirable in the eyes of the Kettle-isti. Well, not *this*
one, obviously, but things like the side panels might be.

I do love the last bits of blue paint desperately clinging to the ruins
of what was once a fuel tank.

Depends, on what you do with it... B models are a PITA for some spares like
the clocks which are brown faced, some parts like the indicators I believe
are the same as the GS750.

Looking at it assuming these parts are salvageable at a glance you could
flog....

Radiator crash bar
Engine
Seat (chrome band) hard to get I assume the base is long departed
Frame and swinging arm with V5??
Radiator and plastic surround
The rack is pattern and a NOS "sports rack" is about £120 new but that rack
will sell OK
"B"Clocks
Stands
"B" rear light assembly
"B" fork ears.
Side panels are the same as far as I am aware but they only came in black on
the B

If the engine casings aren't buggered completely and it all splits apart
intact (looks like a puff of compressed air may reduce it to dust) you will
get £250 back easily breaking it.
Be interesting to see what it reaches.

I wouldn't touch it and I have built 4

At least it won't be hard to find the source of the leak...
