Looking for a value

[Seamus]

Mate has a 95 400 Four that he wants to sell. Had new rims, spokes, tyres, mudguards, indicators, handlebars and other bits. Paint is not great and the engine cases could do with a bit of love. Runs well and everything works.

Your post say 1995 is it an old stock item as I thought they stopped manufacture in 1978 or thereabouts.

That said I did see an A plated new Vincent Black Shadow in a Derby dealers showroom circa 1963 - a found packing case model allegedly  from Liverpool Docks it was priced at about the same price as a new Vauxhall (HA) Viva!

Whoops, should be 1975. Was looking up some parts for another bike that qas 1995 and the year stuck in my head.

I think knowing mileage might help, but so would a standard seat and down pipes that resemble standard ones. A 'faster seat' tells too many people it has had a hard life! Elbow grease and solvol impress. I'm not sure about the fork gaiters, I raised that myself on here a couple of years ago and the popular view of them was negative.

With the non-standard parts on it and ill-fitting front mudguard, not knowing the mileage or when the engine was last overhauled (if ever) I would guess it's worth about £2500 - 3000. Maybe a bit more if you find the right buyer.

Thanks for the imput. I don't know the mileage yet, so will have to ask. Exhaust, I believe is a motad.
Obviously need more details, but a guide price is all I need to pass on to him
