How much are you prepared to spend…

[Nigel Whittingham]

No thanks, i don’t own any now. Never liked the LD’s either tbh. Get rid asap if i were you as the market for them is dying off (literally!). SX & TV’s were going for ridiculous amount's 10-15 years ago but none of the kids want them now. At some point the youngsters might pull their pants up, ditch their hoody’s & get a decent haircut but i wont hold my breath!

Oops sorry, that wasn’t meant for me! (Dont know how to delete a comment on here? Is it possible?

How rude lol! No worries - you right in the market for older stuff is diminishing - vintage cars took me an age to shift - very small market!

well done. 57, that's quite a number, remember Heinz!. Been married that long too! Met the day Kennedy was shot. Always said that was a bad day for everybody! Ha!

57 varieties .
There was a huge red 57 which was lit up in red as darkness decended.

The market for 80,s hot hatches … bmw E30,s ….Mercedes 190 cosworth,s etc etc is probably the strongest at the moment

Anything 90s and early 2000s, the right things are commanding the money as always. The peak has passed though for most. I’ve probably lost 3-5k off mine from peak prices.

As far as the wife is concerned i don't buy any new fishing kit or tickets. I have had the same gear for 2 years and fish the same places

@Gavin Burt - Dont want to add to your collection per chance do you?

My late father was a vintage car and bike nut - I've managed to auction off the cars but still have a MINT late 50's Lambretta LD150 - its pretty much concourse condition but has been dormant and garaged for a few years now. Battleship grey / twin stitched and sprung leather seats - totally original etc . . . . . PM me lol

Sorry for boring you but just noticed i’ve used same pictures as i used last time (forgot as it was so long ago!)
It’s the only pics i’ve got on my phone

Lovely scoots they are, love seeing the old photos.

Scooter prices are balancing out now a bit and falling to where they should be. This time last year an SX200 was north of £12k, people are struggling to get £8k for them now.

The only ones that demand serious money now are the GT200 and DL Electronic.

Great photos they are.

I know what you mean, UK roads aren’t really built for rattley 2-strokes. Although saying that, I rode to the IofW from Warwickshire in August and it was a beautiful ride through the Cotswolds / Wallops.

At least you had the SX2 which was the king of scoots
