Riley Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'd be asking for a lot more detailed clear photos and some photocopies of log book entries. Skins look pretty shabby/dirty considering they're only 8 years old with purportedly no use?? An early model T300 without the CrMo axle carry-thru insert bar upgrade (which are near impossible to locate now) and unless its been re-powered, it's most likely a free air, R503 single plug per cylinder, Bosch points-type ignition system. Shouldn't be any, but look long & hard for cracks where the engine mount 'shovel handle' joins the 5" CrMo boom sleeve. The 40 litre alloy fuel tank and removeable doors are quite desirable plus points to a Thruster owner. Like FT says, it's priced at a number that could warrant further interest if all is as described. Happy hunting. Riley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafs64 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 don't know what shovel joins are single plug doesn't sound like a great idea. I have sent them a message. and see if they will go to the trouble of the sending more pictures and copy's of the logs. so watch this space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shafs64 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 yeah you had to be fast on that one it sold a few days after it was listed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seb7701 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Not surprised, but needs skins and engine straight up. One of two in existence with the rear pod too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafs64 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I thought it had a rear pod. it was hard to tell as there was only one picture. but if it needed skins they would of cost a bit so there goes the bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seb7701 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yep! $1900 for new skins for that one...I checked! Despite the fact that it was pristine in the care of the previous owner, it still has 2500+hrs of training time under it's belt. I know a pristine A503...if I decide to get into a 582!!
