Take a look at pre-war eGroup, there's probably someone who can help out in that group.

There are a few F/7's about. This little 250 SV
does not command a very high value. Value does depand on how complete and original the machine is, plus condition. But even this little machine is rising in price. On the downside, restoration means remaking parts, perhaps modifing to use available parts. It would be a labour of love, as going to all that expence would not see a high resale price as a V twin, but the effort to restore it would be the same cost per part. Nevertheless, a cheap entry to the prewar era for someone with engineering back ground or a deep pocket.
You would do well to join the prewar e group.
