cheap rare commander

http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/23600/lot/263/

This particular Commander was purchased from the auction sale at Norton Motors' Shenstone factory when it closed down in the mid-1990s. It was one of the Norton factory's test machines, and the vendor was informed that it had had a new engine fitted shortly before the sale. The machine is offered with a V5 registration document.

It doesn't actually say that it runs.
Or has been run recently ?

I can recall lining up a test ride of something not quite as fancy as that one - and it wouldn't start !
(it is a 2 stroke, sort of).
No spare plugs were available (at a mere £25 each), so it was nix to the test ride...

It does seem cheap, be interesting to watch the final result.

If you look at their catalogues the estimates are always way too low, I think to try to encourage more attendees, the actual prices end up two to three times above low estimate.

My clubmate has one.

It has stamina that Commando riders have never experienced.
