Re: what a find!!!
Depends what they are and what condition they are in.
Kwak if you can get a list of what they are I can ask my dad to borrow his VMCC club magazine and try and work out some rough prices.

Re: Classic Bike find in garage
If they are BSA 250 C15s then she should be paying you to remove them. All scrapyards now have to be licenced, so be careful how you dispose of them

Kwak, I'd be inclined to identify exactly what they are first, and then maybe get an auction house in to value them.....rather than just go errrr look in a bike book etc.

250's probably as Lozzo suggests be worth much, the 500's will be where the money is, but dont expect alot, if they are basket cases, they'll be worth f*ck all there will be no way of knowing if they are complete or not.
