I have owned this for a few years now and never use it
Thinking of selling but what is it worth
These couple of pics are from a video i did about 4 years ago
It's not been used since

A friend of mine got something similar from a dealer for around £6k......but he ended up doing an 80% rebuild.

Do you live in teletubbie land?

Lovely bike..
 
At present you are looking at 5-6 k depends if you find a hipster who really wants one.
 
Thanks to those who gave a constructive input
5k was I thought too...
So if you want to know more drop me a PM
 
You could contact the BSA owners club, same for the guy with the matchless.

Invest in a copy of classic bike magazine. Look through all the ads. Subtract 20% to 50%? dealers margin depending on how glossy their ad is. Alternatively Google the bike and a number which are for sale will pop up.
It doesn't really matter what you think though. It is worth what somebody will give you for it. If somebody wants to relive his youth, has always wanted one and is prepared to pay £10k ...
I would think between £3k and £5k for either the Beezer or the Matchie, but you will see them advertised for more.
In 5 years they are likely to be worth more, unlike a new machine which loses big chunk as soon as you wheel it out of the showroom and is worth half what you paid for it after not many years.

Just to give you an idea, I recently sold my G80s ,I got £5350 for it .I sold it through a classic bike dealer who would have made a bit on it.He had it advertised for £5995 but I believe sold it for a little less than that.
