If it doesn't shift here, put it on gumtree. I know Moultoneers regularly check there for bargains. At that price in London, it will get snapped up. Would go for it myself but currently working on a vintage Moulton as I type. Good luck with the sale/swap.
Comments here and elsewhere have convinced me to put it on eBay and get top dollar for it. It's listed now with no reserve and a penny start. I hope it finds a good home.

Hi , is your Moulton major still available?

Or could we start banning people that dredge up old threads?
I'm never going to get round to doing this so here goes. A potentially very nice, very original Moulton Major - with 4 speed Sturmey FW, front dynohub, and front and rear racks. This is a "shed find" in sound condition in spite of lots of surface rust. When I got it I gave it a quick wash and a squirt of oil here and there. Following this, (with the exception of the front wheel) everything was found to be functional and nothing seized as far as I can tell. Hub gears work fine. Suspension seems to work well! I also started giving the seat tube a polish to see how it would come up - you can probably see in the picture.
Only issue other than cosmetics is the front wheel, which was obviously left in a damp patch in the shed as the tyre was wrecked and the rim was too rotten to get a new tyre on.
I bought some used but good Brompton alloy rims, as well as the correct size schwalbe tyres and tubes about a year ago. I am happy to haggle if you want these too. My plan was to rebuild the wheels and ride it for a while while pondering whether to restore it fully.
Collection only from North London. Swaps considered - try me.
