you know that the economy is picking up (at least for some) when a battered BSA like this goes for almost 3 and a half grand!

Wow, That seller certainly had a good day! It does look pretty good though and it's an early example as well with the twin tube under the saddle.
A lot of the BSA fanatics rather have a battered one with original paint, than a good one resprayed.

About the same here in Holland...somewhere between 600 and 1300 Euro. 600 for a genuine frame with some bits. 1300 for a complete one in original paint.
Even the Danish post-war folding bikes fetch 400-500 Euros.
I am really happy with the genuine BSA frame and bits I bought last year. It was great trying to replicate the missing parts......and it was ready enough to drive around in Normandy. Recently fitted repro handle grips and decals....just in time to drive around in Arnhem......still drives like sh%t though
