For Sale Classic Cars and Bikes

[Colywobbles]

Ok bit of a long shot I know but Before I go to the petrol head channels and marketplace I thought I’d list em here for any like minded peeps that may be interested.
I need to move some toys on as they just not getting used anymore.
I’m not gonna list specs as I’ll be on forever but if anyone Seriously interested DM me.
No bargains here BTW as I’ve spent far too much on each and every one. That said they won’t lose money and nice eye candy if you have space and time to use them.

Triumph Bobber 2017 only 1990 miles. Racing green Ltd Edt with 2.5k in extras. 1 owner from new, Me. It’s far from stock with some tasteful trick parts. 1200cc goes like a rocket from standstill and won’t flip you over the back like a sports bike.



Honda Monkey Z50 2000. Nothing much original as spent 7.5k Inc upgrades all Japanese sourced parts from Takagowa, Kitaco, Dayton ect. 108cc with race crank revs to 11500 an absolute beast and a pig to ride but attracts all the attention in a 200 bike lineup regardless of what’s in there. 1 owner from new, me in 2000.


Dolly my Fiat 500 1966 bought a decade or more ago just can’t remember now. Had been restored after being bought from original owner of 40+ year.
Had fully reconditioned 650 engine fitted sourced from Italy which lets you break the maximum speed limit. I have original engine that comes with it. Both me and my son were married in this. All restore history included.



Finally my Beloved Fiat 124 spider Rosa. Bought from a guy way down south who had a fleet of Ferraris and house to match. He paid 24k€ for this and another 3k to have it picked up and drove to him. He gave me a full run down on the history of the Bambino Ferrari he called it and was designed by the guy of one of the Ferrari’s he owns which escapes me atm.



None of the above are being used and I’m paying £50mth to store Dolly. As for the bikes I need the room for Acrylic racking to try organise things better.

BTW I will be keeping one of the cars as it still nice to take out on summer runs along the coast the one that sells dictates the one I keep.

Please only DM if Seriously interested

Thx Col

Amazing Col and incredible timing as I just bought this on Saturday




Not quite as nice but along the same lines

 

[Dex-Jay]

Damn, that Triumph is bad-ass! I've never had a bike but if I did it would be a bobber very similar to that.

Lovely vehicles. I hate to see someone selling up but agree that we hold onto these things past our use and someone else should be enjoying them.
I also need to thin out the motorbike collection but can’t quite do it yet. I might yet be able to comfortably ride an R1 again.

 

[Colywobbles]

Sounds like an oxymoron “ride on my R1 comfortably”
Last sports bike I had a loan of they had to practically lift me off as my back was in bits.

 

[Calimori]

You have to fold yourself on to it but persevere, avoiding cramp and hip/back spasms, and it was rewarding for 20 minutes.
Not selling it to anyone over the age of 40.

 

[DanSeldon]

I know of a Monkey Bike collector. I'll PM him a link to the thread.

I can sense the passion you've obviously invested in your collection and sorry I can't help take any off your hands as already got my own box full of big toys! Good luck with the sale; they're all good marques and not gas guzzlers so should sell ok.

 

[Jason Catrine]

I'm in awe at both your cars. Love the old classics and they both look mint. I remember seeing the original 500 in the flesh when the wife was buying her wee Abarth 595 and there was one in the showroom.....and I thought the 595 was small before I seen that. Couldn't believe how tiny the original was. Looks absolutely amazing. And as for the 124......droooool. What a stunner. They'll be hard to part with i'm sure. You do know you can sell kidneys instead

Thanks Kman
Tonite I was told in no uncertain terms by the wife that I’m not allowed to sell Rosa my 124 Spider so that has made my decision on the cars a little easier I guess
I’ll still miss Dolly but the fact it’s in paid storage and I no longer have room to store all these toys not to mention 2 pins too many but I’ll not let on about those to her.
It’s crazy the older you get you amass a vast array of toys and after long thought someone else should get to enjoy them instead of my sons squaring up to each other deciding who gets to sell them
I’m simplifying life one toy at a time and my new motto is “no such thing as a keeper”.

I’m kinda lucky in a lot of respects I don’t need the money it’s more the space and time that’s the problem!
However it’s gonna be hard trying not to spend the proceeds on more toys but at the rate pins are rising it will be 20k for an LE in the next few years.
Hopefully a trip to Chicago and Tokyo has which has been on the cards for a long time will come to fruition so it will be well spent making memories. Chicago The home of Pinball and Japan the land that ignited my passion of gaming and helped my get where I am in life today.
1st world problems sheeesh

Probably for the best if you don't tell your wife this!

Your 500 looks ace BTW

Chris.

 

[Rob zombie]

Those 500's were ace. I remember accidentally starting my mums up on the drive as a 7yr old by pulling up two levers near the handbrake? There were some nasty exposed bits of metal under the dashboard though that punched right through her knee in a crash one day. Nothing life changing thankfully, but not a car to crash in. Actually, come to think of it, that's the only crash I've ever been in! I was playing with my Action Man in the back. Remember it vividly.
