Hi Everyone

I'm new hear but not so new to vintage bikes as I have several old Ducatis

A mate of mine had to make some room in his aunties shed as she has not long to go and the proceeds are for her funeral etc.

This bike was amongst all the other stuff cramped away in the far corner , he was told that it is a 1957 250cc two stroke the first of its type, I have looked online and can not find any info on it
The closest bike I could find to a match was this one

My question is , Is it worth doing her up or what is it worth to someone unrestored?
most of it is there from I could see its missing one side over, headlight lens, rear brake cylinder and mirror mount
It even had good compression and would you believe original tires

Cheers Marty
