Couldn't resist this SP5 .. Yet another Mamod to my collection.
I'm supposed to be saving for a Jensen, but wanted this too much

Very nice condition for its age and it doesn't look as if it has had much running in its lifetime.

That really is a nice one.

I made a meths burner for mine.  I just lined the solid fuel tray with tin foil, put some loft insulation in it and covered with some car body repair mesh and away I went:
