I've often wanted a Commie, particularly a MK3 leccy start.

This one is just down the road from me so I'm off to have a look. But, I do have a few wonderings... it appears never to have been rebuilt so presumably the sludge trap is an unknown quantity. The seller certainly has strong ideas about its value - I'd suggest maybe £6k would be about right if it runs as well as it looks.

Anyone like to suggest whether I'm a million miles out, or better still, what I need to establish about it when I'm looking?

I'm 60 in 6 weeks, a nice present is tempting, although I was thinking of a hydraulic bike bench which would probably cause less stress!!
