also another mills has been offered to me obviously a replica this one is in a blue box with red writing which says k-diesel mills 1.3 and a shop label saying spore hobby? I take it its still a aurora mills replica but of a certain time period? Many thanks in advance Simon.
Yes correct-this is a Kumar (Aurora) Mills-if it has a plain alloy case it is an early-ish example, if painted black then a later one. Original Mills 1.3s crop up on Ebay fairly frequently-the Irvine ones less so-so keep an eye out there. Note what I said in my earlier post-not all K Mills are rubbish-some are quite good and perform adequately. If the vendor is prepared to run it and show you-then it may be worth purchasing. But an unrun NIB one? Well it might be good, it might be poor-you wouldn't know till you tried running it. Also bear in mind that most UK Mills originals that come up for sale have seen quite a lot of use-so again I would personally ask to see it running before purchase if that is feasible.
