big john Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Totally insane. You could not get that much, in the States, even if it were TOTALLY restored, in pristine condition. In Europe good Model 10 "Sammy Miller" Sherpas have been selling for at least Edited August 13, 2009 by Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 But why is worth 4k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Rarity value and if you want something badly enough. There are very few Model 10 or 27 Sherpas in Spain as most were exported I believe - assuming it has gone to a Spanish buyer. Can't imagine a UK buyer paying that much as they aren't that sought after here. It was the bike that was responsible for the first big change in direction for trials, killing off the competitiveness of British bikes at a stroke, so I guess it is something of an icon in Spain - a bit like an Ariel HT5 here (except that a Model 10 Sherpa still looks like it did in its era....) I was told that there is a series just for Model 10 Sherpas in Spain. It's also the bike that was responsible for the 1965 cut-off for pre65 trials when they were introduced which I'd guess warrants its place in trials history and status as something of an icon.

However that particular specimen went for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
