Yabbut... the starting bid is only $2,800.
Plus, he promises "I EFFECT SCHIPPING IN THE WORLD". That's a good thing, innit?
Unmitigated risk aversion is the new Puritanism; complete with witch hunts funny outfits and humorless preachers thundering doom. The Deity is Safety; Satan is a Lawyer; but the object is the same: to suck the life out of life and tell you how to live it.

The seller is in Italy, so I can overlook the English usage.

Full disclosure would require the seller to explain about rust monsters, pack rats and fires. Also this page is seriously glitched in my browser, but no others are.
That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

Same seller has been peddling that pile of crap for months, he keeps throwing in more stuff that may or may not be related to a LeMans.

I have to give him credit for trying :thewife:

Is it just me or is the rear transmission cover not bolted to the case?

That model had the short spline and the extra thickness "air gasket".
