Saving Old Seagulls

The last days i found this one on ebay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/150998149934?ssP ... 1423.l2649

The seller told me the engine code: http://www.saving-old-seagulls.co.uk/i_ ... um=TC52396

I like the 102`s, and this one looks ok at the pictures. And the guy says that it turns and the clutch is working, but he didn`t check the ignition.
But maybe someone can tell me if it looks original? What for problems should i expect from a 102, do the have typical diseases?

I don`t know if i will buy it, because it`s not very cheap and to far away from me. But i would be happy, if you can tell me a few things about this engine and the 102`s.

Thank you,
Jan

Missing part of the transom bracket. Very expensive for what may not be a runner.

I would look for one in the UK, there are lots about.

Postage or courier should not be a problem.

If you can get an SD to Greece, then a 102 to Germany should be no problem.

Perhaps someone on the forum could help you out.

That`s a good idea. Sometimes i already took a look to engines in the UK. It`s only the hunter-gatherer- symptom

Yes, quite expensive. You will find cheaper by being patient and looking around. Also look on Maartplatz in Holland, which is fairly close for you.

Okay, thank you for your replys. I`ll do my offer to him after the auction ends, but it`ll be much less money

But here you can see, how he get`s his opinion of the price: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Ausenbordmotor-S ... 20cf7406b2 This guy wants to sell it since about a half year... He started at 850€

This one will be cheap I think.

You could always strip the paint off.

That`s a real duck hunting engine...

At least it's not silver paint. I hate trying to remove silver paint.

There are a couple of camouflaged motors that appear from time to time in Poole Harbour, doubtless belonging to wildfowlers or bird watchers. One is a powerful beast with beutifully applied camouflage a bit like the three colour splinter patterns the Swedish Air Force used for a time. It must have taken the chap hours!

Nobody would ever pinch it, of course. Maybe they wouldn't even see it..

Maybe it looks better after a dry ice blasting, if they didn`t sanded it to much...

"dry ice blasting"

Do you do such nice things? Nice!

Oh no, i don`t do it by my own... I only knew some peoples, who did some positive experience at their cars.

You can also look here to see some deliverables: http://www.youtube.com/user/MangoldTrockeneis

There was this idiot who painted the whole motor white and shrink wrapped the exhaust . Never ran it the the stupid prat . He had a wild idea of his own abilities due to his over in flatted ego . No body would ever have stolen it cause it was just not fit for purpose .

I looked at the original listing,
I love german....just wish I understood it.

Today i called the seller. But he didn`t accept my offer. So we can close this tread now...
