I was wondering what the following bikes might be worth? Boxer 1912 Ivy 1903 Mars
In aus.motorcycles on Sat, 01 Sep 2007 10:56:29 GMT Going to depend one hell of a lot on condition. Veterans are tricky to value because so few are sold. Plus there are few buyers. A fully restored one with all the hard work done will be worth at least a few thousand if you can find someone who wants one. A veteran that's in "as found" condition might be worth money if the motor turns over and the parts that are missing are fairly easily found or made. So it needs to be one that was made from a very common engine and used very common cycle parts. A veteran in average to bad condition that's missing essentials that are not common, or not common in countries with a language you speak reasonably well, that's not worth all t hat much in my opinion. So.. in what condition are these bikes? And where are they? The market in Oz for veterans is small and, I suspect, getting smaller. They are a bike that you can very seldom ride and you have to be quite competent mechanically and probably a fitter/turner as well to keep one on the road. A seller would be best off to go through a bunch of back issues of Classic Motorcycle to get a feel for prices in England and whether it's worth trying to sell there rather than here. Zebee
