Being just over 6ft with my height due to long legs rather than a long trunk I find the 400/4 a bit on the small side.

Well i am a dwarf at only 5'5" and these bikes suit my short legs well, just never liked the style of them, motors are lovely, they handle fine.

As has been said, if the bike has been restored to as good as new and someone wants a 44 year old model (and who doesn't!) then one is available and good luck to them.8)

I might be wrong but I thought the E types that were tipped down the mountain were all supplied new by jaguar but had no engines or gdrive train in them so they would tumble down for the camera!

That's not what I heard from one of the drivers in the film. Rotten as a pear, but of course I wasn't there.

MrDavo:
Certainly the Lamborghini Muira was an engineless shell that had already been crashed - they weren’t going to trash a good one. The actual running car was a brand new undelivered one with the speedo disconnected, it has recently been rediscovered, restored as it was in the film, and of course is worth a not so small fortune.

We’ve been on that road, although in a coach, the driver couldn’t wait to tell us about the Italian Job. At the end when they are chucking Minis out of the coach, if you look closely they have stopped being Mini Coopers, they only have one petrol cap, not two. And they thought I’d never notice 😉

I refuse to watch the remake, and never will unless I’m strapped down with matchsticks holding my eyes open.

To get back to the original post, I’d like a 21 year old model, but I don’t think the wife would be too happy about it. 40odd year old  motorcycle though, not a problem.
