What\'s an Ailsa Craig worth?

Hi - been offered an Ailsa Craig outboard in hardly used condition but what do you think it's worth and what are spares like to get hold of?

Thanks.

Really don't know the value but I had one of these on my Splinter in the early 70s. It was a great o/b and far better than the Seagulls that everyone else seemed to have.

Spares almost non existent.
Better off on ebay

The Ailsa Craig 4 I had in the 70's became the Tomos 4 and continued for a few years under that name. I think they moved to Yugoslavia though that's not much help now! Nioce engine but you had to change the plug every time you wanted to start it. Didn't have to be a new plug, just one that had had a breather in the toolbox.

It's like old Archimedes. Quaint, but best in a museum /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
