Q<br />
A<br />
Do you know anything about<br />
this KB Stinger? I’ve had it in<br />
the back of my garage for years<br />
and am interested in selling it?<br />
Cheers for any info on it mate,<br />
and how much it’s worth?<br />
Larry<br />
Hey Larry, yes, this is a Klemm Bell<br />
Stinger. It looks like a John Blanch<br />
shaped sting or stinger with no step<br />
bottom. It would be 1977 vintage if<br />
John shaped it as he was working<br />
at the Torquay factory during this<br />
period. I haven’t seen too many of<br />
these Victorian stingers. It looks<br />
watertight and has had a few repairs<br />
over the years but it’s nice to see it’s<br />
history is in tact and doesn’t look<br />
like it’s been restored in any way. It<br />
actually looks like a great rider and<br />
without seeing it in the flesh, a price<br />
guide is about $400.<br />
