Buying second-hand
£380–500 is realistic for a tidy used Harrier 41. Hayter parts are still made in Britain so even old ones are repairable — that adds value. Test the variable speed lever travels through full range. Check the rear roller turns true and bearings are silent. Original Hayter spec sticker on the deck adds £40 to the price.
