Ha'porth of tar

  1. I still don't think this 400 Four "built mostly of NOS parts" is worth
    three grand, though it is very nice indeed.

    But why did the twat go to the extreme of adding all that gash extra
    pinstriping to the tank?

    Nice - If it sells it will probably live indoors and get trailered
    to shows.

    It is v nice, tempting, but bad timing and 3k is too much, still that or
    a bit more is about what I'll be asking for the CB72 should I decide to
    sell.

  4. And the judges will mark it down for the extra pinstriping ;-)

    And it's still got a pattern seat and non-OEM shocks. It looks like
    he's fallen into the "money invested = value" trap.

  13. They go for absolutely silly money now. A really good used one will
    easily make £60. I've seen NOS ones sell for three figures.

    Oh, that's why I saw no reply and thought: 'itchy fingers'.

  16. And here's another.

    Ebay item 150420981794

    Two scabby pix which show a slightly manky seat and an aftrermarket
    exhaust and he wants £2500 starting money and a BIN of £3000. Loony.
