1954 A10 plunger for sale
« on: 19.10. 2009 22:03 »
I have decided to part with my A10 gold flash
The head was a replacement head that was purchased reconditioned but I rechecked the seats and relapped the valves to be sure, I have replaced the cam followers and checked the cam and bottom end at the same time.
it has a concentric carb. fitted and always starts first or second kick with ease, it is 12 volt with a manor tech.regulator on it.The frame and rear mudguard are powdered coated,the chrome on the tank is good but it has a couple of very small dings, nothing that you would rush out to sort, The photo's do not show this bike at its best and it has never let me down and is a get on it and go bike but has room to improve it and put your own mark on it.
I rode it to Peter Hammond's open day and again since then, it goes well without missing a beat.
It does wet sump but I have a non return valve that at present is not fitted but if needed I can.
it is MOT'd and taxed
I am looking for £3500-00 or your best offer dont hesitate to make one if you are serious about buying it as I can always say no, or if you think it is to cheap then feel free to offer more I can always say yes!
it is a reluctant sale but I am activly looking for a B40 or similar to green lane and cannot keep all the bikes so this one has drawn the short straw.

As much as I would like the bike to stay in Britian it would not be impossible for you to import, but I expect the cost would be prohibitive
As I have already said it is a reluctant sale  and I have already purchased the Trials iron, a B40 from Adrian Moss at Rickman motorcycles so I will have to start advertising it a bit more.
Regards
Richard

Actually If I can remember correctly Lannis bought an A10 here and had it shipped over to the states, I don't think the price was as bad as shipping bikes from the States to the UK. What was problematic was the paperwork and customs... (I stand to be corrected if Lannis looks in!)

...Just thought, it might have been in one of the threads on the Brit Bike forum where he mentions this in fuller detail...
