bud Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 That's quite a rare bike anyway, so finding one unused is surprising. They were not a great seller when new, so probably not worth a massive amount. It's interesting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I know at least a couple ended up as beach racers. They were great on the sand. Had to Google why it was called the Ascot. Just knew it wasn't to do with horse racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
