British Bikes / 1954 Speed twin
« on: February 14, 2010, 11:06:59 AM »
Hi
I have a 1954 Triumph Speed Twin, inherited from my father 7 yrs ago, it was in show room condition and has been stored inside and under cover ever since, I also have the original sales receipt going back to Oct 1954.
I am looking to sell it because I am not doing it justice, but I do not want to start the engine as I guess it will may do more harm than good without striping the head down etc.
Do I sell it as it is, will I loose a lot of value without it being a runner or am I better finding someone to work on the engine
Appreciate any comments
