think it was if you read the Mathewsons page !

Sesman:
Oh, heck. I’ve been misinformed by a neighbour of Mathewsons who attended the auction. Or possibly I misunderstood her. No matter, still probably a good buy for somebody. I guess we may never know…..

MrDavo:
That looks very sweet for the money, you can pay that for a barn find, especially one that runs.

The exhaust condition is super important, you’ll never find a new one (unless you are James H). It also has the hard to get bits that had mostly disappeared from my bike such as the correct  horn and tank badges, plus an original seat cover, although the foam is tired as they usually are. The front mudguard is a little battered, you might not find another but it could be put right if it bothered you enough.

I hope someone bought it to use, however it wouldn’t be surprising if it turned up again for sale, cleaned and marked up in price.

Edit: I just noticed it has the (optional I think) bash plate under the sump, mine hasn’t and I’ve never found one, despite it being on my eBay saved search list.
