Out of interest, I did contact the seller to strike a deal, and only after having a good look at the additional pictures that I did not initially see in his link, did I realise that it had been left in a field for its life! The pf is rusty and if you look closely, rust and chips abound. Perhaps mint in Bulgaria means something else! It is now on ebay where the same seller is claiming to be in London......Caveat Emptor me thinks

I agree the back end of the PF looks very rusty, but it's just a PF, so I wouldn't worry. There some specks of rust here and there, might've spent some time in a garage or outside storage without proper protection. Still might be a good restoration project if bought for the right monies.

Regards,
dsc.

DSC, I agree but he wanted £450 bottom line, plus courier from Bulgaria with no guarantees it woulf turn up in one piece. If he had been UK I might have gone and had a look but the price is still more thna I think it is worth. Ebay agrees as well as it did not sell

Wise decision:) I wouldn't buy anything like this without looking under the bonet in person or via photos. Even videos of running machines can't be any proof when buying over the internet, I've had a Classic turn up which apparently ran, but it was producing no more than 0.5bar pressure:)

Regards,
dsc.
