Well shoot ,I have (2) 1/2 Hp Sipps in better and more original shape than that one that I would let someone set a higher record on if they wanted to.😊

I’ll never have a chance at one of your Sipps now! 😂
Never say never....😉

Post by: tenniV11 on October 30, 2023, 04:26:02 pm: I was bidding for the SIPP - but with transportation cost to Switzerland in mind
I stopped long before 5000 $ - nice but rather expensive.
Congrats to the winner - a real beautiful pice for a top collection
I also was watching the Cretors - so nice.
Arnold ;D

Post by: Stoker on October 30, 2023, 01:11:06 pm: I had that one on my radar too .... just to see what it would do. It did far better than I expected, though I knew it would go pretty high, what with that wonderful governor and the really nice (but a bit oversized) oilers.

Sipp's are truly fine engines ..... but not quite that fine as far as my wallet is concerned!!!

Post by: komet163b on October 30, 2023, 12:02:01 pm: Yep. More than the last Cretors brought. I suppose it
was worth that much to somebody with a fat wallet. Maybe
it was a wealthy Sipp relative determined to own a piece
of their family history.
