So- after MOMA buys your airfilter to put on permanent display, what would you pay for that bike?
I think the opening bid is at the upper edge of the value of the bike.
However, I also think that collector bikes like that are very rare, and there is more than just monetary value involved in purchasing a collector bike.
If a person really wants it, they'll pay more than the normal expected value of the bike, just to own it.
There's a difference between an original survivor and a restoration in the collector's world.
It woud be possible to re-create that bike in a restoration, but it might end up costing as much as that one.
For just a little more money, I'd be tempted to look for a perfect Interceptor Series 2.
But, any way I see it, that is one NICE Indian. I love the color scheme. It really looks good.
Of course, as it is now, I don't have the money to buy a broken-down used Bullet.
But, if I wanted an Enfield Indian, and had money to burn, that might be the one.
