Possibly selling my 1962 C100

Post by louismonk » Tue Oct 26, 2010 11:10 am

Hi guys,

I might be selling my original 1962 Honda C100. It had a father and son own it before me and is completely original (except for a just refurbished coil and new condenser).

It has lots of old tax discs and a leaflet talking about the history of the bikes.

The machine has the original paintwork and is not full of rust like some. It has been cared for.

She runs but could do with the carb being setup again - she runs a little rich. Also, the garage that refurbished the coil managed to snap off the kick start spindle where it meets the lever. It bump starts perfectly well though and they were always notorious for the kick start snapping on the really early machines. A replacement spindle comes with the bike. I also have a huge array of spare parts including a spare (original) engine. These will all come with the bike.

I have just received in the post a new set of 4ply original pattern tyres - the original tyres it came with are still on the bike and passed quite happily the last MOT!

The V5 log book is present.

Come and have a look if you're interested. If the price is right I'll sell as I already have a C90 and I'm looking for something bigger - I'd consider a swap for the right bike ;)

The bike has (I think, I'll have to go outside and check) covered less than 7000 miles since new. Old MOTs can prove this.

I have been advised that somewhere in the £750 region is fair. I'm open to offers though, so please don't let my expectations put you off!

I'd rather it went to a caring poor man than a rich fool.
