I'm not up with the pommie stuff but surely that's well under priced???  Enough to make me think it's a scam.

Anyone know the seller or the bike?

I don't know, given the market is shot to shit at the moment, and the bloke is clearly desperate to sell. It's probably on the money.

It's a very targeted market selling old British stuff, as there is a reason no one wants it! LOL

 It's not a scam as I know the bike. Price has dropped dramatically over the last few weeks.

What's it eligible for though?  I would have thought that being a 71 it can't be pre 70 so must be pre 75 maybe??  Or is it a carry over model?

He's also selling an original unrestored old valiant that is begging for a "pimp my ride" job, for those Chrysler fans? Its in WA so maybe a good package deal for someone? Fly over, hook the BSA onto the Valiant & cruise back home to......

With 1 weeks leave & a mate, could be a perfect holiday trip  :D :o ::)

Steve Centuras are a fast little car with a 265 (or 245) hemi motor fitted.  They are light weight and can be made to go like hell .. similar to a Torana.

I'd have one for sure :)
