....when did an Indian frame start to fetch this kind of dosh?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=016

I always had a figure in mind of approx £125-£175 for an Indian frame....or £225-£275 for same frame with a log book (more for Italian stuff).

Have a i been asleep recently?

Agree it's probably the J reg that's sold it. But there's no law to stop anyone putting an older plate on a newer machine, it's the other way round you can't do.

i think you will find it has a J plate becouse it has been re registered you can buy plates from that era for about £149 i know some people just want there indian scoot to look italian nothing wrong with it all legle i asked him some questions yesterday and he was a bit elusive
Q Dear kevfto,

could you tell me the frame prefix numbers please is it 22/2

A
its an indian 1978 frame i re/ reg it for the j plate and is reg asa lambretta 200 22/000078--- as u can see INDIAN thanks kev

Q Dear kevfto,

hi thanks for that it was the number after the forward slash that i wanted 22/0*00*000000 the one before the first star cheers
A
no probs in the log its reg/ as a lambretta 200 thanks kev
so he hasnt really answered my question :roll:
the fact that is reg as a 200 means nothing i have had 2 scooter that are reg as 200,s one was a italian gp 125 frame no 22/1# 001xxx the other an unstamped indian frame :o both said lambretta gp 200 on the log book thats not to be confused with the 150,s that are sold/advertised as gp 200,s when the logbook says super vijay 150 or similar something, 5 yrs ago DVLA didnt have a clue about scooter numbers and you could reg things as what you wanted any buyer needs to check the log book against the frame numbers
if you think about it this frame is prob worth what he is asking or has been bid
frame = £125-150
registration process £55 minimum could be more if you need to take it to the vlo plus your time fuel etc
reg plate £150 again minimum might be worth more plus transfere fee,s are nearly £100
