No reserve, 6 years old. Could be a bargain for someone.

I've started the bidding but that's as high as I go for a machine that does not even have a heater. ;)

As it's the machine only I would expect that to go for near the £800 mark.
Might just keep an eye on that myself.

Yorky, I fitted a 3kw immersion heater to mine for less than £30

I have one the same, gets used about 1 in 30 jobs, where TM  cant access.
Wouldnt part with it, it sucks, big time and i have had a few porties.
Used mine with an inline heater, or hot tap water.
Probably go for 7-800, would sell better with wand and hoses in my opinion.

Yes they do look outdated, ugly and compared to many they look cheap.  As with just about every machine in the market they have their up & downside.  The main thing about the Scorpion is that it does have plenty of vac and can run 100 feet of 2 inch hose without any problem.  What i dont like about them is you have to unbolt the tank / tanks to replace any of the bits inside including a bloody switch and the fact it has no heater.

The owner of this machines lives a mile away from me.
I know him and he is a genuine bloke.
I have seen this machine only last week.

Its in good condition.

It did have a small leak at the base of the vac waste tank inlet pipe but this was professionally repaired recently.

It’s a good sound machine that only being sold because the owner now runs a truck mount.

Chris
ps Joe, this machine is in much better condition than the one that you offered  me £800 for a month or so ago. I sold mine on ebay for £890.
