Saving Old Seagulls

Hi I have a seagull 102 plus for sale it was purchased in August 1952, I still have the invoice for the purchase. The engine has not been used probably since the 60's so I have no idea if it does or will work. The serial number on the instruction book is OP540 which I understand means it is fairly old.I live in Cornwall and anyone interested can e. mail me on mansell@halvarras.fsnet.co.uk I would like £50.00 plus any dispatching costs

Was it purchased new in 1952? It is possible that the manual maybe older than the motor. Any chance you can check the serial number on the motor or does the area around the sparkplugs have fins?

Thanks Hugo.

Hi yes it was purchased new in 52 and the serial code on the casing is the same as written on the book which is as I said OP540
