Cheap? Crikey, they were practically giving it away at a grand. Here is the cached version for those that missed the link before it was sold. Not sure how long it will last but OK at the mo:

Possibly I suppose, but I got the impression it was a genuine advert by someone who simply didn't know the true value of a Mk1 in any condition.

Mark, you're just too cynical :o :shock:

Pot and Black....... :lol: :lol:

There ARE still a few people out there who don't know the value of things, especially in rural East Anglia. Getting fewer though, I'd admit.

Totally right Andrew there's still bargains to be had in the less populated areas ( where we live ) due to people's lack of knowledge and they just want rid .
It's quite unbelievable the stuff I've collected locally in Norfolk over the last year and it still seems to keep turning up :D
