This came up on Swedish Blocket recently:

Transport no problem.

I doubt he was talking to me.

I believe sea freight from Sweden to the USA would cost approx. US$1800.

It's a nice resto. project but I think he won't accept inexpensive offers.

Found a similar one (a bit smaller) when I went to France a month ago, in an abandoned cottage in the middle of nowhere. Rusty but nice.

I still regret I couldn't bring it with me but we have no space at the car boot and it was really heavy!!!! And it was at the middle of a field of brambles!!

If I could get it here for $1800 I'd have a talk with them.
My big concern is the asking price. Anybody venture a guess?
I'm gonna say $25,000-30,000.

That engine would be great in a swedish steamaholics back yard I suppose.

cheers Joe

I reckon he would accept a offer of 6.000 for it

SO Phil sell me your Honda and you will have a deposit for this ole engine.

a nice thing to own but you would need loads of space, (and money I think)

Very nice Portable engine, not sure of the maker but it does look like it has potential, a couple of part restored Portables recently sold here in the UK for around £4 - 6000 area. Its if it needs work in the boiler barrel, firebox, tubes area that it starts getting expensive.
