Kawasaki KH250, Barn find, Project, Recommission, Restoration | eBay

 

Chester registered sex machine. Needs indicators, proper decals and standard bars, but that's well fit.

Corr, I'd be leaving those clip-on bars for the authentic '80's 'it's a racing bike mate' experience, never mind the fact that those front discs had all the grip of a Vaselined hand around a wet bar of soap.

that Number plate is really quite funky/interesting as it looks a a lot like a Homo-Hygrade plate, a predecessor to the Serck's font plates we all know and love, so I always thought they got replaced by said Serks plate, so its weird seeing one in Retro reflective black on yellow

I wonder if they kept making them for smaller sized motor cycle plates? (thinking about it I dont think iv seen a motorcycle on pressed Serks plates?)

EDIT: also worth noting that I think those plates in your picture are a pair of Homo-Hygrade plates, notable by the distinctive way they did the digit 8 :) (and technically a predecessor of the serck plate as the company was bought out by them IIRC!)

and before anyone gets funny with me about the name!

The colour - from my research - is called PEAT BROWN.  Didn't he used to do a Soul Show on BBC GLR?

It is absolutely fantastic.  I know @Skizzeris a metro fan!  I wonder how much they'd actually sell it for before Auction End?

I am a Metro fan, and a launch spec 1.3S in metallic brown is about perfect.

It needs quite a lot of love though. I’ll chip in money and remote encouragement if someone steps up, but that’s about it as I have no more space and too many projects already. I wish it were not so, but it is.

I quite like that miniMETRO but it is a £500 car in my book. 

I remember my uncle had a really early bASe which was on a W or X reg. Predated the City.  Black vinyl seats,  1 mirror, no reverse lights. 

It died after he drove it 150 miles with the oil pressure light on.

I think the days of them being a £500 are long gone, tbh, especially an early and half decent one.

Oddly I had a quote for SA to UK shipping just yesterday
"The cost of a space in a shared container to London Gateway is currently around R29500 ( includes all clearances, permits, packing and freight)"

I will agree SHIP > SHIPLEY by many times but it is much less than I expected, or I'm at risk of getting scammed....

I have no idea on the shipping costs but if you are buying a South African DS make sure it is one that has a higher value like a late model DS23IE Pallas or, if there are any left, a Slough car that will be worth £40k plus when restored.

I'd recommend watching this before importing anything. Some of the video is Alfa specific, but it all applies to most cars. It's quite an interesting insight into the SA Classic car export industry.

Thanks for that. Interesting video. I looked into importing an early Range Rover from South Africa a few years ago and this would have been interesting to see at the time. I didn't do it in the end, mainly because of concerns that the video addressed

A 26k mile A-series is worth more than that now.

I bought a 38k-mile, one owner, 1983 Metro 1.3 from the local auction in 2001 for a fiver.  Unfortunately the engine out of that would be worth about 85p even now as it was an automatic and the AP autobox is a steaming pile of donkey dung.

Costs? YES

Worth? That's in the eye of the beholder.

Do you reckon it could have got up to the price it has just to be engine-raped?
