There are at least two for sale; the metallic blue/dove grey one at £4000 and another black one for £3795 (I think).

The blue looks nice but that's a far fetched price and very little description. The black one is from a "trader" and contains all the mixed up descriptions such as saying it's 'all original' and has also had a 'nut and bolt restoration'. It's said to be a 1960 but has the later silencers/handlebars and is painted all black-frame and bodywork- so it's a bit confused.

Interesting to see if anyone bids for these - £4000 for the two sounds nearer the mark.

Hi Anna, £2,000 to 2,500 is more the mark, but let's see what happens. My jubilee had the frame painted that metallic blue with a silver tank, looked the part in the 70's!

Lets see what happens!

The registration date for the black one is said to be April 1960. This is impossible; the Navigator was introduced in October 1960.

Is the US one still for sale? That one is just way out in terms of pricing - but to a classic Ferrari owner in the USA it may seem very cheap.

I personally don't mind if a machine is non-original if that is the owner's choice and he can ask what he likes for it but I do not like spurious descriptions claiming "originality". The black Navigator is probably a Jubilee with Navigator forks and engine but it should be declared for what it is; It is obviously a non-original colour, has a non-original seat, non-original chain guard,wrong ammeter and switch gear,wrong silencers,wrong headlight etc, etc. It may ride superbly and built to the owner's preference and be a wonderful machine -so why not say so.

There was a genuine one owner Jubilee sold a few weeks back which was being sold by it's original owner and he went to great lengths to point out all the repairs and non-original bits -that was an interesting item.
