A mate of mine sold an old Pursang on there recently and a bloke turned up from Spain so you never know??

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

i bet the seller cant believe it and then imagine his reaction when he finds someone from spain has won!!

they do turn up and pay cash though even oop north a guy turned up on my doorstep..having driven from espania

good luck to em if they 've got the cash its theres to spend and you cant take it with you..

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.

But why is worth 4k?

Why not?

It should keep it's value for a long time, unless of course people fall out of love with old bikes.

However that particular specimen went for
