Nice original Bantam West Scotland

[Pete.]

This has popped up on Gumtree. Worth a mention because it looks very complete and un-butchered. Original paint, still has it's chuck guard and coolant nozzle, says it has the steadies and there's a Colchester QCTP in the pic. £800 is a good price IMO going by the pics and description:

It's the same ad from 2 weeks back, he just hadn't deleted it - you see that a lot.

Big difference in his expectations.

If you think that is an ambitious expectation what about this:

If I'm right and it's the same guy, he had 3 Bantams advertised on eBay a month back. All with starting bids of £800. There was an engineering company up that way went bust and Sweeney Kincaid were doing the auction on their gear - most likely where they came from.
