Webbs Classic Bike Auction

[jellywrestler]

This bunch of wally's just don't do their homework very well. I'm not a Triumph guy but that 1921 SD550 they have on their auction site which they claim to be a "Riccy" four valve (OHV) certainly appears to have only TWO SIDE VALVES.

they don't want, i asked for the vincent details and he said apart from rev coutner and later frame it's all correct, sent him a list of what i posted here and he said all the parts are available from the vincent owners club.
they're representing it as a C shadow with a D chassis they're selling a D shadow with a C engine, they only made 144 D shadows. they made 1507 C shadows, they'd be better marketing it the other way around, rarer etc.

Like I said....Wally's. If he doesn't know it's got MK II Amals on it he deserves all the negative attitude he asks for.

This auction would have had plenty of overseas watchers and bidders. You know, the old "Pacific Peso" and all that.
