Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

[Flying Dodo]

This may be too short notice, as the auction ends later on today, but there's a gorgeous Claud Butler up for sale on ebay for £400. I don't have any connection with the seller, other than having recently bought a lovely Mercian tandem from him. Sadly, he's having to reduce the size of his fleet, after being a CTC member for 50+ years. His bikes have clearly been very well looked after - his garage was spotless!

Nice sensibly-modernised Fuji mixte:

(I have no connection with the bike or seller - just came up in my regular mixte searches!)

And a nearly 100% original Puch Princess in better-than-average condition (whole & intact Bluemels! )
If I were looking for a 3rd Princess, I'd be all over this - but I'm not.
I suspect Ginger is not included.

Two Claud Butler mixtes on Ebay -- one restored, the other allegedly not, but virtually identical/original spec (ignoring saddles/handlebars).
I'd be hard pressed to choose between them, for condition!

I love the shape of that quill stem!
