Any idea how much an MOT'd RHD two-stroke 96 is worth?

Just talking ball-park figure really, I assume they're worth a little more than V4's?

Like anything else, its worth what someone is prepared to pay for it!

Having said that, decent 2-strokes are as scarce as rocking horse manure these days, so anything with an MOT and the prospect of getting another must be worth a decent wedge, I would have thought!

I do know someone who is looking for one!

It's a '61 I was told about, still has it's V5 but apparently not in that great condition, there's a '71 95 with it too.

Unless it's insanely cheap, there's no way I can afford it – so I will pass on the details to anyone who's interested.


Cheers,

Simon

It's a bullnose pre-reg rhd two-stroke, there can't be too many of those in the UK?

Still waiting to hear how much they want for it . . .

I had hoped I could rescue this car myself, but lack of space and more importantly a serious lack of funds. So I thought someone on here may be interested?

PM me if you are.





Apparently the 2-stroke was owned by a gentleman who was too old to drive it any longer, and has been in the yard for 2 years.

The V4 did have a running engine, before the previous owner removed the dizzy for his V4 transit(!?).

Oh and cost, I did ask, but I was told I should have a look at them before costs were discussed, which I guess is sensible.

I really don't like being sensible, I'm not built for it! But if someone can rescue these cars and get some fun out of them, then I might feel a bit better.

the way spares are for these cars even in the unlikely event it is past saving the parts yield would be invaluable.

Just make sure it gets saved! You can rebuild anything if you have enough time.
