looks ok, however i am biased and for £750 more you can have a genuine SPS with a little more cache than a bog stock E :-)
check the actual service history, see what it actually had done on the invoices etc. ask about rockers/wear. post up more pics if you can get them from him?

no worries, i'm no expert but post up anything you find or questions direct. i looked at loads before buying, including one that was fake and one that had dubious history.
i had a browse of ebay at lunchtime and there are a couple of nice bikes on there, prices reflect typically the quality although there are a couple of traders looking for opportunities judging by their pricing, (£7k for an sps)
your main objective is to avoid buying one thats been revved from cold / has worn rockers, which in turn has damaged the cam lobes. thats before you get any other issues lol! where are you located by the way? some good indpendants are very knowledgable on them for servicing
