As I have 3 air cooled monos in various states of repair I am always checking out ebay as a source of replacement parts. In recent weeks I have seen mediocre examples of 201,301, 303 and 305's go for stupid money, ie £750 for a 301 in quite rough condition.
Am I missing something or has something happened to suddenly increase their value ? Can anyone explain ?

All the early mono's must be starting to reach there premium classic collectable status.
It seems a good mint mono would be edging up to £1500 to buy,about the same price as a mint twinshock.

Maybe they want the engines to fit in their 240 or 300 twinshocks
