I imagine the rebuild would have been an expensive job to have done on one of these baby's.

Seems a bit over priced to me! I'm out!

Pocket change, surely? :eek:

Is it the 120 gallons an hour thats putting you off?

To be fair it is very rare now and it's running and recently serviced. You think the 8 is expensive for parts.

How about this one then for a bit of backyard fun? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM7ksfRVF70

Oh, you want a Turbo Jet you should have said, much cheaper, just thought you were all petrol heads :D
