Does that now mean that any thing owned and sold by the illustrius Roy Bellett is now worth substantially more than any bike or any parts sold by any one else?

Must do John! Just think what it'd fetch if he'd autographed it!

Over here anything thrown together by Bud Ekins is worth twice as much as a properly restored model. He built bikes from bins of spares with no regard as to model or year if they could be mated but his name has magic. I still have the 1956 scrambler I bought from him that year but no reciept to prove provenence. Our licencing authourity does not keep records past 5yrs unlest stolen or involved in a crime. Cheers, Don.

I see it has not had any bids, so it may not even sell.

Errr--I've been working with computers since 1952 but they were the analog gun aiming type, & later flight test loading data. But the pre-WWII radars I used with them had digital timing circuits that led direclty to modern computers. Babbage integraaters were too slow. Cheers, Don.
