 |
|
I found this little boat engine on Chesterfield flee market today
The dealer had it priced up at £10, I normaly have a haggle with the dealers
But has this was priced quite low I just paid the asking price
I dont think the boiler is in too good a shape, I just wanted the little engine
It looks like a little Stuart engine, but probably isnt
I'll give it a clean up and repost some more pics over the weekend

You should have haggled a bit Mike - the poor guy now probably believes he should've asked more.

I've now removed the Stuart from the boiler, and brushed on some de-greaser

And thats about it for this one
