hi jeff, you just got to look at all the goldie adds in the press, and try to get a feel for the prices. i think there's also a dedicated goldie club some where out there. good luck.

Yep alloy tank is ok for the road.

As for buying a Goldie, what sort do you want, there are 5 types of engine, two types of frame and about 4 main types of style (Clubmans, Touring, Scrambles & Trials).

Make sure it has a Gold Star Club cert so you can be sure its genuine, there are alot a very very good fakes out there as it is very easy to build a Goldie from mainly new parts.

There is one on ebay at the moment, if it is what is says it is, then convert it back into a Catalina, as they are stunning bikes.
