Default 1944 Welbike

Does anyone know the current selling price for a complete A1 condition, with all the fruit, 1944 Welbike?
A club member wishes to sell his bike but I image his asking price may be a little... wishful.

Default wishful thinking?

Wayne,

Last March a Welbike, unrestored, with non-original front rim and tyre, missing muffler and damaged rear fender sold for US$ 4,500 on eBay - see Item # 2406242731. I would have classed that figure as wishful thinking, but apparently these little critters are worth their weight in gold to some people.

Hope this helps,
Hanno

Default His whishes may come true......

Ehm, as a matter of fact, a complete and original welbike is almost literaly worth it´s weight in gold.
About $ 8,000 to 10,000 is not unimagineable. Absurd, yes. But still.
A couple of WW2-motor-manic friends of mine are actually collecting Villiers engines, to start a limited replica productionrun.

Martin.

Default Welbike

Thanks for the info on the prices, I take that as being in US Dollars, which means about $14,000 to $16,000 Aussie Dinas... unbelievable.
