Hi 270,
That's a pretty clean example of a "Supercut".
These are reasonably plentiful around the traps but parts for them are basically non existent, but in saying that I don't think you'll need any as that one looks to have lived a sheltered life in an domestic environment and not a commercially used up old banger. I see that it has it's optional front roller scraper fitted and still has it's original Villiers power plant.
The only way you are going to get parts for it if required is to keep your eyes open for another to use as a donor. Sadly one has to die for another to live. The only Scotty that has parts available is the Model 45 which has a huge marketing network supporting it. Sadly no such luck for the model 33, 40 and 17's.
Pricewise the Model 17 has gone up compared to what they fetched around 6 years ago when you could pay basically scrap value, but now they have also been subjected to the dreaded "Scott Bonnar Tax" which is out of control at the moment.
Anyway I have to ask what are your intentions with this old Dame ?
Cheers,
BB.
