Amazing. £771.25 for the racer Nordwest on Ebay. Looked as if it was going to be the Danish Gilera enthusiast who got it right up until the last second. Nobody on here I suppose? Just got to list the spare head, starter motor and complete set of bodywork now. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest * 2 Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +----------------------------------------------------------------+

I am fairly surprised, given that it needs a change of cylinder and piston to make it a usable road machine. On checking out the buyer's ebay history however, it looks as if it will probably end up being broken. I know I shouldn't be sentimental about it, but I'm a bit sad. Presumably the buyer thinks that the value of the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. You would have thought that TOG's comments about the small market for Nordwest parts might apply, but then a fair few were sold in the rest of the EC. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest * 2 Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +----------------------------------------------------------------+
