I managed to haggle the chap down to £250 because we couldn't start it when I was there. Bargain.
Here are some photo's:

I'm pretty pleased.
It's a 1992 350cc with 14,000miles. It's all original and it's all complete. It simply wouldn't start.
I flushed out the fuel tank today and removed the stale petrol, I also cleaned the gauze filter inside the tank.
There's no spark so I'm going to investigate what's going on over the next week, ignition becomes live because lights and horn work on the key.
The compression also doesn't feel very high (I'm used to my 500cc Bullet) but I still think it's weak. I investigated the decompresser to make sure it was closing properly and it flung apart and I lost part number 140103 Decompressor Cable Block so I'm going to have to order a new one of those.
I want to swap the seat for a single, preferably a low one with no springs, however. Anything considered. (I will need to get myself the seat bracket part number 200084 as well because my model doesn't have one.)
Cheers guys.
