Someone's probably put that £400 down for the rear end.

Still not worth the £400 starting bid.. I still think my first point is the reason.... a decent 76 series 1 is worth a lot of money.  If you have a decent series 2 shell or a series 1 that has been categorised it wouldn't take much for it to take on the identity of this one which may have a clean record.

Not worth saving as its not a Swallowtail, owner clearly doesn't know what he's on about... First registered 25 08 76 makes it too late to be desirable.

Like I said other then a V5.

Obviously pre 74 V5s are the most desirable (not sure if MK1's were about then) but there are many reasons why you might want one.

Like buying a pitbike frame off eBay that comes with a V5.  :lipsrsealed:

Swallowtails were late 74 to early 76 iirc modified when Mk1s went global, and different No plate shape was let into the rear panel...

Swallowtail? No.  Still desirable, yes. Maybe not as much though obviously.  How often do you see a series 1 on your travels?

Someone wants it badly enough, 400 notes for pile of sh*t with a piece of paper.  Still got 3 hours to go.  Hmmm, do I put a bid on?.....

Was kidding, it's not worth the bid, (although I do have a new rear valance to fix the panel  :grin: ) 

That's a V5C sale.
