Isn't it remarkable how much first rate Classic British Iron ended up in the American Northwest? It seems like at least every second time I see something really "tasty" for sale it's in Washington State or Oregon.
So badass my Enfield's actually illegal  in India. Yet it squeaks by here in Virginia.

Definitely not "excellent"! Cheap and bad finish on most parts. Chrome parts are just painted silver, tank is as bad with rubbers painted over... This is maybe worth a 3rd of the asking price. >:(

It's WAY too rich for my blood anyhow, but I see your point, grumbern.

I've seen this bike in person, it's actually well done. The builder just painted the parts as they were original to the bike but the chrome was gone. Runs great, the tank he painted since he could not get the original chrome tank panels from Hitchcocks. Over all it was a good looking and sounding bike.
