That number is not listed with DVLA any more, at least not on computer, it has obviously been a LONG time since it was registerd.

If you were planning on putting it on the road it may have complications.....

Restoring any bike is likely to cost more than the final value of it, so you have to love restoring them and be planning on keeping her really I think

Does depend on the level of resto though eh. Getting a bike to good running condition shouldn't cost the earth if the bike is pretty much complete.

Its the overzealous (cue nasal nerdy voice) "Oh my that veloceorton thruxonnivile didn't have a zink washer there! it was painted oh my god!! the calamity call the police" that cost a mint.

My DT makeover (a 10 yearly event :lol: ) cost around 250 all in. Doing the work myself.

Rebuilt the motor

Stripped and painted frame/sw arm

Full rewire

Replaced all fixings for stainless/semi-stainless

New st head and sw arm bearings

New c/s

Brake linings

The above is all the restorers do,just the degree's of finish. Just depends if you want to ride it or look at it, me well its been taking me to work quite happily through all the salt and shit this winter. :)
