That Manchester......
Indeed, and if anyone wants to offer me the price quoted for my 8" Silens Messor, it's yours! I'll even put the kettle on!
That`s me
Hello all
That is me, I visited the roadshow in falmouth with two of my mowers back in september.
the manchester is the one that was on ebay a few months back.
The silens messor is an 8in from 1898 and while the price may be on the slightly on the high side, I think its in the right ballpark, I restored it with another member who sold a later 8in on ebay, that one sold quickly at £295 plus postage.
I dont know if anyone notised but I made a small error in saying that the silens messor was made from 1869-1939 instead of 1859-1939, for this I apologise.
Best regards
Seb.

That Manchester looks awfully
That Manchester looks awfully similar to the one which was discussed here, being up for grabs on eBay a few months ago.
