I'm looking for a centennial since my birthyear is 1951, yes, I'm going to be 60 in a few weeks, ouch. Would also love to have a 222 but so far they're out of my price range.
I just purchased a 51 with the little name plate missing.. I am very happy with her. I am however looking for a 48 as its the year I was born. I just think its so exciting to use a machine that is 60 years old. If it could only tell you what it has been through.
