It's because its rare. They only made forty plus motors for decades. So there are probably only, well, tens of thousands of them still around.

It gets worse

Broke conrod getting it apart, broke two studs.
Only £8.55 postage.
Breaking for spares does not mean you need to "break" it.
Or am I being a little grumpy ?
Piston need a little TLC

How about this in Oz:

I wonder if there will be a bid: the starting bid of 649.99 Australian Dollars = 484.76 Euros; 415.47 British Pounds; 667.99 US Dollars

I Have a plan....
I'm going t buy the seagull, one of the bikes and a hamster cage. I will be a little under 3 grand down, and if I use the bike to get the motor and the cage to the sea, strap the motor to the cage, call the coast guard and tell them I am off to Holland in the assembled plot, I will probably end up in the same ward as the vendor. Or am I just an ageing cynic?

I noticed this as well from them
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NICE-Old-SEA ... 3f0fe6722e
I corrected them on what it was and suggested they may get a bid for 300 if they lowered the price. Not rare but hard to find complete. Barrell is probably shot as the weakest part on these.
I would like the tin dog...........................just like the one in the old Salty Seagull adverts aye!

Hard to define "never used" Also only 1 picture. Hmm perhaps hardly used would be more accurate.
