Christ on a bike £3k+ for one of the very worst cars ever produced by the british motor industry at their worst. Can't be many left I suppose

. Can't be many left I suppose

See,this is the key reason.
It looks in tip top condition,and it's a 1.7.
What an unusual engine size now

She's probably the head of a major drugs cartel.
The bike has a street value of half a Mil.

This surely now belongs in this thread:

That is quite clearly crazy, has the seller been sneakily bumping the price?

It started out at £50:

Then there is this 'giraffe', still going, relisted several times already.....

I know it is from 1921, but it looks to be pretty far gone:

I've been watching that one, his reserve is obviously his BIN price or near. I think he's shot himself in the foot there: I mean, yes, it's tidy but I can't see it going for more than £208 at this time of year!

£250? I'm sure it runs fine and that saddle looks quite comfortable really, but no matter how I look at it, it's still a rusty old Raleigh with a new pair of tyres on it.
