I think that was the one Frost Auto Restorations used to sell. I have one, it has a painted yellow body…

Wow ! … That looks more like a muncher than a nibbler

This might be a useful resource : **LINK**

Hi

Have had this running this morning, ran off an electric motor, cuts remarkably well, quick and easy to use

I would like to know if anyone has one or has seen one before, also any pictures would be great so I can see any tooling and guides that I think would be fitted to the holes in casting

Thanks
