Very nice ...i want one.

Put me down for one as well Lou !  

I imagine they will fetch a very good price at auction.

I'd like to know, how you 'just find' something like this !!!

Even at 1975 valuation, there's $50,000US sitting there, you'd think someone would be missing something like this !!!!!

They belonged to a Belgian Motor dealer (Cars/Bikes) who was a bit eccentric  when you look through the other stuff there it seems he bought and sold job lots of things but apparently he had a habit of falling out with his business partners the sitting on whatever he had bought..intresting find though.

Podevijn was a Norton and Honda dealer in Aalst near Brussels. I lived in Belgium in the 1970s and bought two Commandos from him, first a 750 later an 850 ES, both Interstate models. He was quite a tough character who used to show off a cowboy style revolver with ammunition - though I never heard of him using it! When I bought my 850 he told me he would be keeping a crated one but I did not know he eventually kept a whole stack of them. The dealership was a family business.

I imagine that someone like Jay Leno will be putting a bid on these at Sotheby's soon.
