Don't tell me you rebuilt the motor on that Classic now for sale on Ebay too......at an actual £20k ?! Dealers..... Auction Houses......they are quite prone to 'inventing bids' before an assembled audience of bidders....God knows what they are getting up to with 100% online /telephone auctions, with...

Meanwhile, back in the real world......there's a Commander on Ebay for £5k.

It does seem a tad 'optimistic' (I am not sure that is the correct word)......especially when taken together with the fact that I sold it to Cosmo for £6500 just two weeks ago ! It's all very well saying that an item is worth what anyone will pay for it, but I get the feeling that classic bike deale...

There are a 'shed-load' of Norton rotaries going under the hammer at Bonhams' auction 11&12 December.....some details on the Car & Classic website and no doubt all details on Bonhams' own website. Auctions now seem to be 100% online eg with no punters attending at all....which would seem lik...

I think the price has actually increased now......

From Richard Negus' post of Friday July 24th, above -- last para: "The only difference between an IP2/Commander fuel tap and a Classic tap is that the latter was modified by Norton to have it's outlet pipe on the other side of the tap body to suit being fitted on the left side of the fuel tank....

I have sent you a PM.

The above link would suggest that some Deauvilles do have linked brakes and some don't..........?

During non-rotary dealings with a chap in Aberdeen he mentioned that he had an IP2 at home which hadn't started in 5 years....I'm guessing that he could be persuaded to part with it if anyone in that neck of the woods fancies a project. Probably best PM me with your contact and I'll pass them on to ...

Further on the 'replica' theme:

That is the 'link'....enter 353083003405 into the Search box of Ebay anywhere in the world.......or look for "Norton Formula 1 Replica 1993 Powered by Yamaha YZF 750R"

K

Well, 'just' a replica really.......but v nice all the same, and probably the closest I would ever get to owning an actual F1.

This one Yamaha YZF 750 based........item 353083003405

Search on "Norton Rotary Interpol 2 Factory Demonstrator!!!!" in 'Motorcycles & Scooters' and you should see it -- top of the list in fact, if you're set to 'Newly Listed'. Or search on '264735339169'.

On Ebay now....with 57 'Watchers' so I guess you've all seen it already ?!

"Norton Rotary Interpol 2 motorbike"

V scant info in the ad.

I believe John B (johnbirchjar) celebrates a 'significant' birthday today ! Many Happy Returns ! Keep the champagne and cake in the fridge til the pandemic is all over ? Or just have a party in 'self isolation' ? All the best. Keith (new keeper of ****JAR).

And I am the lucky /proud new keeper of JB's Classic......which follows in the tyre marks of 2 Commanders, an IP2, and an air-cooled Commando look-alike special (which I should never have sold). I doubt that I will do a fraction of the mileage that JB has done on the Classic but I hope to get out an...

On Ebay today: "Norton rotary ex military police interpol 2"

Nice.

And....back down again to sub £5k ! It does make you wonder what a dealer's profit margin is, if they can add/subtract 50% to a price !

K

"Norton Commander 600 Krauser 1994" has appeared on Ebay.....at £12k = twice the £ of what I sold mine for last year !

Keith.

Make that x3 W2000's for sale on Ebay now.....the Greenford one, the Coleraine one, and now the scammer's one ! Bizarre what they pick up on -- my sidecar (BMW 1150GS with Watsonian sidecar) must be about the most listed vehicle ever on Ebay, as it is listed by scammers at least twice per week ! If ...

I swear the price has just been increased by £2500 ?! I could have sworn it was for sale at £5k+ yesterday ?!
