Poor old MK3



















I acquired this old girl last month with a few others, it was covered in dust and grime. I left standing for a week with 3 in 1 down the barrel, then worked the underlever a few times to lubricate the cylinder. Perfect recipe for that unique smell that only old classics produce when fired, if it could be bottled, I would sell it as aftershave to fellow Sados. After nothing more than a clean with white spirit and a wipe with an oily rag, she is ready go, including the specks of obligatory white paint that every classic should have....
