I bought this tank about 6 years ago, probably for what was overs at the time, but I thought I'd use it on a 2nd 250M resto that I was planning. The 2nd bike is now long gone but the tank remains. The tank on my other Elsie was restored and fits the standard of that bike, whereas this tank still has its original patina. I never met the previous owner (bought it through a 3rd party) so i don't know its history.
Tank appears to still have its original paint and has no rub marks on the underside, which I've always assumed meant it had never been on a bike. I can't guarantee it hasn't, but the 2 other Elsinore tanks I've owned have both had wear/rub marks on the underside from being mounted. I can't smell any fuel in it and in fact it smells a bit like wax or oil.
Tank has a very small dent on RH side in bottom rear corner which I presume could be removed by someone handier than me through the filler cap. Tank also has some shelf rash
I'm hoping to get north of $600 for it but open to any reasonable offers. It cost me $750 in 2011. If I can't off load it here, I'll stick it on eBay in a weeks time and see how it goes there. Happy to post but have no idea what it would cost. Anyone genuinely interested in it are welcome to come and view it if possible. I'm in Murrumbeena in VIC. See below pics (I think if you double click on the pics you can get into my photo bucket page and see all the photos I have of it and the tank on my other Elsinore). Apologies for the dust, I should have washed it before I took the pics.
