    That has to be one of the top 5 classic rifle shapes

    I hankered after the Grand Prix model, when you put this rifle up for sale I'll have to put you on my ignore list

    Agree with paul. Rarer older thumbhole stock and push safety.

    I think you might be right.

    Eli's were AFAIK all FAC, but North Hants allowed some FAC air rifles to be taken off ticket, so a few were legally available as 12 FP, before the practice was barred.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    This one was made as an FAC due to the long length of the barrel. A few were made as sub 12ft, a significantly shorter barrel was used. Ben Taylor was convinced that everyone they made was FAC he told me. I think the valuation is about right £650+ standard Fenmans fetch that and more.
