C50 & C90 prices.

[TimNorwich]

Afternoon chaps

Currently considering buying a C90 for a laugh and a bit of a restoration project really, found one for £230, runs & rides but it's shabby and has no MOT, and I'm pretty sure its tax exempt.

What is the going rate for cubs? I've seen newer ones go for £800 odd on eBay, and I'm wondering if they are really worth that?

Thanks,

Tim.

I picked up a good condition C90 with 12 months MOT and taxed for £56.

Mind you, that was 1981. They may have gone up a bit since...

£230 seems a lot when there's a few on ebay in seemingly good nick for around £300 or so. Depending on how much work it needs, maybe offer them £150 or so for the 90?

I have no idea about these days, but I got mine for £150. It was as solid as anything. Was the most reliable thing ever. Even after it got smashed up in number 1 accident, it was rebuilt for little cost and ran again no bother, and even after number 2 accident where we both ended up in a ditch (thanks to a careless blind lorry driver who pushed us in there ), she started up again no problemo!

I had mine for a year or so, and sold her for about £30 more than I paid...ha ha ha!!!

They do seem to be over priced compared to other similar bikes because of their popularity/cult status etc. However, to some degree justified because it is easier to finds parts for them.
Generally £200 or so would get you one with no v5 that needed a bit of work. £300 you might get a v5, or at least a reg plate and be in ok shape, but not road legal.
Then from £400 or so for a ready to ride on the road one. A chunk more than that in 'good' condition.
