I will have to put in a bid at that money and hope the boss does not find out!

Put a chair on it and use it in the three wheel class on trials, up against a Morgan or Lomax. If it wasn't so far away over the border in England I'd be on the phone offering essential delivery of a brown envelope later this morning!

A bit of work to do there.It doesn't look as though any work had been done towards the conversion.
If any one is interested there are 2 A7 engined bikes at the Sammy Miller motorcycle museum for inspiration.
Mmm, Is there space to get a supercharger in there too...

Steve, Warwick is not so very far away from you. I used to work in Redditch and commuted twice a week from Bala up to the office for ten years! (100 miles each way). Go for it if you feel brave enough.

Unique and interesting when finished - but with performance no better than a side-valve M20 and handling (solo) of an "interesting" nature. Still, as a DIY project it would only absorb a thousand hours and £10,000 - so let's hope somebody takes it on.

The engine and box don't appear to have ever been in the frame, looks like a motorcycle project with an Austin seven engine and box thrown in
