Anzani Pilot or Minor Wanted

Post by aviateam »

I currently own two Seagulls ( Century and 40+) and I am now looking to try an Anzani.

If anyone wants to sell or knows of British Anzani Pilot or Minor for sale I would really appreciate contacting me
Thanks!

I paid £25 for my one.

Perhaps they are going up in value.

I have one like that, a P shaped handle, not touched it yet, have two older ones already.
I don't think I paid more than £20-25 for them, not daft enough to pay that type of price and would rather have the enjoyment of restoring a motor myself, than buy one already done.
Maybe not worth much more after a restoration, but that's not what I buy them for.

Ok, thanks. I thought the later pilots had the twin thumb screws.

Edit: Just noticed it does have twin thumb screws... :oops:

Just fishing here.

How much would a mint running and complete Minor fetch these daze?

1. Carb version
2. Mixer version
3. Correct cowl each for both styles

'Coz I ain't got one. :lol:

I've got a OMC, a BCG and a noisy HID, but no BMB.
