My 40 minus SJM defo a workhorse. Used most weekends all year round on the tender.
Having seen some of the fantastic restorations on here I could easily be tempted to do a pukker restoration on a similar engine, but it would still have to be a user. Perhaps for "good" days in the "summer"
Been using gulls now for ahem 39 odd years. To me they are and have always been something to use.
But I do admire some of those restorations.
Do not let me get hold of anything too rare because I will have to work it!
