Beautiful Jim!!

1953 without question - last flatbases made as its got a mazak flywheel, these came in during 1953 and the flatbases went out of production in 1954.

I like that one a lot!! Wink

Nice deal, Jim. Wouldn't we all like a flatbase MM2, made for only one year,
and bought for say, £15. Maybe you didn't "steal" it, but I don't think for minute
you paid too much, either. What can you get new for £45? And, what level of quality
would it have? You don't see them very often because they really are scarce. You've
got a nice MM2 manufactured at a special time in Mamod's, indeed in England's
history and a high quality engine. Well done...wish I had it! Wink

I had a bid in on it for £45.01 & would have topped it up abit near the end. Laughing

Ah-ha! See? Well then, there you go! Very Happy
