Incoming 5513 Maxi!

Hey guys!
Just when I stopped searching for a maxi to acquire something else, I found my 1680 a younger brother!

Was hard to let this one pass when seen in the flesh yesterday.
A very honest example IMO.
7.59M Serial, a MK 4 maxi.

Hands may have been changed, but the price point for a decent example like this was very very fair to say the least.

The insert was one that I bought a while ago in case I needed it. Glad I pulled the trigger on it back then.
