Hi Alan, If you look the £5,800 was the asking price, and no-one bid that amount. He may well have sold the engine outside e-Bay for a much lower figure. I notice that his location is just down the road from me - but I cannot think who it would be! Cheers, Roger Mason, in St. Agnes. MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
