1957 VH 500 for sale as a restoration project

Post by Mike Cook »

I have owned this bike since 1964 but it has been off road and dismantled, waiting to be re furbished since the mid 1970's. Most of the bike is now re assembled except for the tin ware and there are parts missing i.e. magneto,battery carrier, handlebars, some carburettor components and misc nuts and bolts.
I have the original logbook and can confirm that the bike as it stands is as per original manufacture and is located in Brackley Northamptonshire.
I am looking for £500

Yes all the parts are all there apart from what I listed and although it all looks a bit sad the metal work is all sound and any rust is just superficial - it has always been stored in the dry and the engine can be turned by hand so is not seized up.
I was always going to restore it myself but ill health has put a stop to that idea sadly.
