There's always one or two of these finds around the world each year, I find it amazing the blokes can sit on a stock of them without the temptation to sell, or at least show off their collections

You have good taste Sam!

While you can be sure that getting any one of these bikes running after 35 years in storage will require quite a bit of work
Dunno about that, if they've been dry stored like that they prolly won't take as much work as a barn find would!
I was at Motorcycle World at Beaulieu some years ago when they uncrated a brand new 'Kettle' that had been found in some old premises, ok it's not the same class of thing at all, but they put it together, topped it up, added a new battery, and she fired up lovely!
The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

But I might come back for a Norton as well.
Bit of a nostalgia thing I supose, having had a Matchless G12 650 CSR and a Paul Dunstall Norton 650 SS in my dim and very distant past!
