You did well! It might be a expecting a bit much to get a valuation on something this rare though. Most of us will never have known this model existed!
I hope you get to enjoy the bike, it looks an absolute cracker. I would definitely green lane it :D You could now let us know how well it does that job, maybe? I would certainly like to know, and I wouldn't be the only one.
That is a real rarity!

Agree your comments, Steve; nothing in the Clarke book that looks anything remotely like this - although there are passing references to Morini 175's used in all variety of sports through the mid 1950s. There is a picture of one Moto-Crossing (which could be similar to this one) and also another used for Speedway...

No catalogue pictures though, so this could well be a one-off? Always worth asking NLM, but £700 seems a good price. As ever, the question is how does it ride, and do you enjoy it? If yes to the second part, it's a good purchase, and do let us know how you get on with it!

Good riding,

Those are Corsaro forks, possibly the longer Country versions.
