I do like the way the seller has balanced newer parts on the bike to hide the corrosion and rot, and to make it look like a bit of polish and a quick bolt on of the bits gives you a classy cafe racer.......and lets not worry about the missing bits like the fuel tank.

I see a money pit unless the retail value of iron and aluminium oxide has gone up a lot recently

Looks like a good buy. A goodbye to a lot of cash :D

Thinking of making an offer, doubt it will meet the reserve though.....

Are the plant pots and trailer included?

If it was free I'm not sure I'd bother. A friend of mine inherited a 350 Triumph that had, over many years, become a garden feature, he asked me for advice but sadly it really wasn't worth saving.

It's a bit far to collect,  I'll give it a miss.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

They are all money pits, this one looks like a money ‘black hole’. Having said that, it might be hiding a gem....might take some finding though. Still, it’s on ‘offer’ and at the right money it could be of use in some way, some how. Better to be out there than not?

If it was round the corner I’d take a look. Many years ago a went to look at a right BOS described as a neglected 650 BSA. Turned out  to be a rocket goldie with 2xK2FC mags and 3x long dynamos, not to mention rare thick flange barrels and other stuff. No bad for £65!!
