Deep pockets and patience to match, hats off to you.
Think I'll have to retire first, good luck with the hunt.

I say something to restore because other wise it's going to be well out my price range if it's all ready shiny

The bad news is that something to restore will nearly always cost you more than its worth, my 77 YZ250 cost me £200, but cost me £2k to finish by the time I'd included complete engine rebuild (did that myself) powder coating, seat foam, and cover, plastics, wheel rebuild and new tyres and tubes. However spending the money here and there over a year meant I didnt really feel the pain! I guess now its worth about £1800 - £2k tops my advice is get the best you can afford to start with not the cheapest! If the wheels are good that will save the best part of £400 for new rims and spokes.

Hi Peter

I have a 650 Triumph engined Rickman Metisse and would really like a 2st to go with it so I could race in another

class, but I guess it would be too expensive.How much is the Montessa please?

                Cheers John.

Not a bad starting point.
