[QUOTE="Anon., post: 21655, member: 2408"] Dear VOC, Please could I have some help and advice, I am trying to convince a family member to sell one of the two Vincents he has. He is in the VOC (Hence I am not signed in under my usual name.) It is a very standard Touring Comet. However 30 years ago it was thrown down a road at speed and hit a few fast moving heavy objects on route.... Let us not beat around the bush the bike was very badly smashed up! (for example the tank has a dent in it about the size of a mango, the headlight is smashed, handlebars are bent there is a lot of rust...) Since then it has been sat in the back of a a damp old shed to rot. - I guess he intended on oneday rebuilding it, but lacked the time, money, motivation or space so never has. I am looking for an estimate of the mimimum bike value? What is the lowest you have seen a single sell for? I have been looking all over the interent, on auction sites and classic bike sites with no luck. Next time I am at the house I will check, but I believe it is all matching numbers, I will also find the age. The reason I would love him to sell it is simple: I said he has two bikes, the second is a twin, and has been off the road for 11 years after an engine blow up. Other than inside the engine, the bike is still in very good condition, as this bike has always been really well looked after and stored in the warm dry garage. I would love to see and hear him on it again and I am wondering if this sale would give him extra time, money and space to work on the twin. I will then always be around to provide the motivation! Thank you Anon. [/QUOTE]
