[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 21659, member: 586"] I think tt is being very generous (optimistic) with his reply. Going down the road at speed hitting objects and then being left in damp conditions does not bode well. Wheels, bearings, top and bottom links, headlight etc. I have recently conducted a thorough report on a crashed twin (in Australia) and came up with £5,000 of parts ......The labour value is dependent on your abilities to disassemble and assemble a Vincent; this is something not to be approached too lightly.. If the crash happened 30 years ago then I would say you have 2 options: 1. Part it out. Break it up into big lumps and sell them on e-bay. This is NOT the way to make friends in the VOC. 2. Put the whole bent, corroded, rusted lump on e-bay with plenty of photographs. You will get the best price and pay the least commission .. Either way, you should end up with enough money to finance the engine rebuild of the twin. Unless you have a lot of ability and time I do not advise you start rebuilding/restoring it. There, no definitive answer to your question because there really isn't one. It is worth what someone, on the day, is prepared to pay for it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
