    Very nice....

    Possible worth as an S Type but bloody nice lookin bike.

    How much is he wanting? Market is a bit flat for them locally at the moment so I'd suggest listing it internationally if you could.

    But no. I'm sensible and mature. And a Thruxton is really the modern equivalent without the oil leaks, etc. Sorry mate but thanks for the dream. Beautiful bike.

    Seeing as I am in a pedantic mood.... thats a Norton production racer replica.... first appeared in 1971 I think (off the top of my head) about the same time as the SFC.... but it aint no SFC replica!!!!
