This one soon disappeared, I wondered how long before it vanished :x I wonder if it is a new number for the register?

Not seen that one before, Adrian.

That will need a brave owner to restore it, as most of the parts he'll need are made of unobtainium, I wonder who told the vendor he had a 1931 lightweight.

Yes, a big word of caution required for sure. The tiller mount seems to be missing, as it has some sort of frame bolted to the crankcase. So quite possibly new crankcases required.
Also there are signs of oil coming from the gearbox cap, threads gone perhaps? Somebody will bid big money for this one, not for me.
Choke is also missing!

There’s an OA just appeared too, with a cracked block that seems to have lost its cooling fins. It’s also been flashed over with silver spray paint. Oh dear.

I prefer finned barrels though, they look more “Marston”
