Believed to be 1958 (the black one) and 1960 (the skellie).
The black one has been part restored, and is almost complete bar an engine and seat. Paint is fresh, though chipped in places from storage, the frame has been restored and there's loads of chrome still wrapped up (looks to have been rechromed, though needs a final polish).
The skellie (either 70 or 80cc - I can't remember!) would be most useful as a donor bike to complete the black one.
There are also two NOS disc wheels to go with this, plus a new cable or two.
No V5C's for either bike, though both numberplates are present, and both frame numbers and the one engine number are clearly legible and not tampered with, so registering at least one of these should be a breeze with the help of the VMSC.
If I'm honest, this is a real back-burner project for me (I think I like the look of them more than I actually want them!), as proper bikes are more my thing.
Price?
£250ovno - that's basically what they owe me with the NOS wheels, etc.
Or... I may well be interested in a trade/swap/deal/px, cash either way, for:
Triumph TR7/Dolomite Sprint parts
or a bike (up and running or a project [even just a frame & V5C...] - British or European preferred, but I'm open to suggestions) - BSA, BMW twin, Guzzi, Jawa, MZ, 2-stroke road legal crosser, etc - most things, really!
or a Cinquicento Sporting, Fiat Panda, Subaru Justy, Suzuki X90, Lada Niva, Ford Ka, Civic Shuttle 4x4, non-turbo Impreza/Legacy - basically, small and chuckable or small and 4 wheel drive, but I'll consider anything!
