UNFIRED - 1980S Mamod SA1 (1319) Live Steam Roadster

Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) For your consideration is a Mamod Live Steam Roadster Made in England in the late 1980s. It is in excellent and unfired condition.It has been air tested (video).It is 100% complete and original, including the original box that is in excellent condition with all the original inserts.I is as close to "New Old Stock" as they come but two things disqualify the roadster from the rating :1 - The left fender was touched up and the beige sprayed a bit near the hood (see photos).2 - The seat was loose and was re-attached with epoxy. If it happens again, it's actually better secured with 3 screws. This item was still in production until August 2024 when Mamod ceased operations. This is the link from the manufacturer for details (it might not be live anymore) :https://www.mamod.co.uk/shop-categories/1319-cream-steam-roadsterAt the current rate of change, the price in British Pounds was over $500.This one is half price and almost as good (except for two things reported). A box of solid fuel is provided but it typically does not age very well, so I suggest that get some solid fuel (anywhere camping supplies are sold) and using solely distilled water is strongly recommended. Condition : This Live Steam Roadster is in excellent, unfired condition. It has been air tested (video). It is 100% complete and original, including the box that is in excellent with all the original inserts. Two things to report : the beige on the left fender was touched up and sprayed a bit near the hood. Also the seat was loose and was re-attached with epoxy. I would rate it a C8. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out. The default is usually UPS Ground as Expedited Shipping can be expensive and is not necessarily more reliable. Please keep in mind that I do not control the cost of shipping that is calculated by eBay. Free pick-up is always available (Rock Hill, SC). LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment. Guarantee : Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it. Warning : Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine. Packaging :Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling. LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 65 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 74. None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate. As of October 2024, I still have over 1,300 engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging. I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market.SO/AI
