1939 or so Seagull model 102

I'm having a clear out and I've got what looks like a 1937 to 1941 (Don't know exactly) seagull model 102. It's in really good condition for the age. I put a new (genuine, old fashioned brown paper & oil wound) coil in it and ran it about 4 years ago and it ran fine. Does anyone know what kind of value it might have?
Got some pictures of it at http://www.mattyorke.info/seagul102/gallery.asp
Thanks
Matt

I've got no idea of a value, but what software did you use to create that gallery?

It's just a little asp web page I knocked up. Could do with some refinement really.

Matt,
If you can let me have the serial number of the engine I will try and work out what model and age it is. Seagulls seem to sell on e-bay for about 70-80 quid.

I think that makes it 1937 to 1941 with clutch drive, does that seem right?

You're right on all counts + it has a short water jacket

Might be worth a chat with John Williams on the Saving Old Seagulls web site http://www.saving-old-seagulls.co.uk/ and see if he can give you an idea of the value.

What does short water jacket mean?
