What a shame that it's been allowed to get into this state.

If I'd known the QPM Owner was going to do this....I would never have paid him £5 for that Zundapp Bella Scooter back in 1966 ! LOL.

I can't believe Bonhams charges !!!!! Even Dick Turpin wore a mask !

GS750E. ZZR1100. CB1300 (2). ZXR1200S. VFR800. CB750 Nighthawk. CX500. XS500 Yam. Suzuki GT500. BSA A10. Various Lambrettas. Zundapp Bella (honest).

If you are not on the ball you could end up paying 45 percent in charges, this is what pushes buyers away  >:(

Well I got home and checked John Wyatts book and according that, the VIN of the Bonhams bike  falls in the range of the K0 interim bikes.

Saw the person today at Stafford who I have met before, who originally restored the 1st in the UK CB750 and he now has a bike built from  an unregistered frame that came from Queens Park Motors when it closed and is build up from a lot of NOS parts. QPM broke a  bike out of it's crate to use as spares because spare parts  were so expensive and slow to come from Japan when the bike was launched here.

The Bonhams blumph says it was purchased by the owner from QPM, not that he owned the shop, unless you know something we don't, Ash.

Anyhow, how much?

1974 Kawasaki Z1A
2005 Harley XL1200R Sportster
1985 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Sport

I know a famous auction house that sold a triumph that was listed as the first owner as Roderick Stewart. I know the trader that put the bike up for sale which he inherited from his a family member named Roderick Stewart but, not the famous one, he worked as a butcher ;D ;D

Maybe I was brain dead after queuing to get into Stafford then trudging round for hours. Still an interesting bike though and does have links to QPM. I didn't go in the auction..... it costs £25 quid to get in by catalogue !  I only got in free when the press bike was auctioned off  'cos I linked them to a load of info on that bike they never knew about. Roger Etcell told me yesterday that the K0 QPM bike was in there as he's an estimator for them. He told me it was in pretty rough shape though.

Don't know if anybody spotted it but there is a rough K0 at the rear of the Stafford show in the area at the side of the building by the ice cream van. No idea how much it's up for as I couldn't find the stall holder, but it's pretty rough. Anybody there today could maybe find the seller.

I still reckon that's a good bike to buy and restore personally...I'd probably had gone after it myself..!

It's 120 miles away from me Steff. I got there about 9:15am  and  had to wait in the queue for 20 mins but overall not too  bad. I always tell myself ...'not again' but continue to go ...it's a good place to meet up with kindred spirits you wouldn't normally  get to  see. you  could argue that there  isn't the NOS stuff there any more but it's pretty much dried up everywhere now for our bikes.
