bullmastiff 610 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) First the Relum Tornado then a BSA Airsporter and now a BSA Mercury! I helped a friend at work move and found a BSA Mercury in the Garage, and they gave it to me! it looks in really good condition so I did the Yellow pages test and it only ripped 130 pages so is really under power. I've been on Chambers and i've found that theirs five differant types! mk1, mk2, mk3, mk4 and S. How do I tell which one I've got? as it just states BSA Mercury on it? Cheers Luke.
