Valuation: MM1Hi Guys,
I was wondering wether I should buy this MM1 I saw in the antiques shop, it's a raised base (paint in OK condition), with flatsided firebox (paint good, small scalloped eged decal in good condition), boiler relitivley clean, still laquered, engine frame a little worn, no overflow plug and the paint is flaking off the flywheel which is relitively a small one. Is it worth £17.50? Thank You!

I'd say yes but mainly because you can check it out more closely than you ever can with ebay. Even good pics on ebay can sometimes hide problems that would show up after a couple of mins in your hand.
It's a fair price and if you want it, go for it.

Would certainly be worth more than that in OZ, probably atleast double that

I paid more than twice that for the one I got from UK ebay. Go for it

Does it have the burner? But I'd buy it at that price I think.
