Nice bit of nostalga happening, ;D   warm and fuzzy all over my bod.

Lets see who can pick the sale value, ;) ;D

Technically tricky as we dont know whats in the engine. So have almost complete frame , looks good , got the engine dress up kit ie  mod rocker cover, alternator blank plate,
Engine fins etc look OK
Webbers and RC manifold, cables,  Maggy,
So worst case scenario is crank case , crank, pistons maybe    This will be collectable so may see someone who just wants it bad and pay whatever it takes.  ( want to feel young, like Bill B  ;D ;D ;D)

To get the ball rolling ........ my crystal ball says  $10,000.       .....cheerrs johno

There doesn't exactly seem to be a bidding war going on?? ;) If there were some provenance, like pictures with RC and the same bike, or vintage time slips it would add to the value, IMHO.

Nice bike, but I suspect the reserve is too high and it doesn't sell.
Shame it hasn't got a blower on it.

Very much want.

But the added value of a sandcast engine is lost due to the cases being broken.
