Missing the plot!

Have I lost the place or is this for real!

Hmm. Nice example - and the wooden brackets must give us a very accurate
year of manufacture.

The starting bid was 300!

I was after one for the GT 250A, and watched one go for well over 100,
but found that there's a specialist near Stroud that will do a very
close pattern one for well under.

Still, for some people it's all-original bits or nothing.

says "rare". I'd expect it to be at least gold-plated for that money.

Five HUNDRED POUNDS..! and still 8 days to run, if it isn't some sort of a
wind up then I must have also lost the plot. Could prob get an almost entire
(but tatty) bike for that wiv a seat on it.

 

Maybe hes gonna throw in the bike?

 

yebbut, it'd be a tatty seat. only real question is how rare is a new
kettle-seat.

 

for about £100. Blasted and re-sparayed base, new foam and re-cover. Looks
as good as that one IMHO. I suppose it aint original and at that price it
never will be!!

£510 now; that's pure mad.

R Strong waffled on in a quite bewildering manner to produce...

£50 notes, hopefully

I bought my kettle for £700, got the seat re-covered by a company in Brum

Sounds like they did a decent job for that. I paid in the region of £500 in
1980 for a 1976 kettle , must say it was one of the most enjoyable bikes
I've owned.

If I knew then what I know now I would have rushed out and filled my attic
with kettle seats, incidentally it now stands at £650.

 

flay me neck!

'ere, what's happened to TOG. He still in Belgium?

from the strawbuilt shed, The cock's shrill clarion, or the echoing
horn, No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed."

wot, still? I thought that was weeks ago.

Any more guesses?

Oh, never mind.

No, it's one of *these*

I'm seeing if I can flog the story of buying one and riding it back. If
so, then I'll start working on locating a decent used one (prolly via a
dealer).

 

Reliant were selling 'em, dunno if they still are.

 

You must be fearless or daft. Should make a good story though
