These do look like exactly the same makes that MachineMart were selling.
However i'll enquire fingers crossed.

Somwhere on the thread on waterbutts someone asked about 'old
fashioned'
stirrup type or manual pumps. I just noticed that Machine Mart
are
selling a good range of repro 'town pump' style pumps from about
20
quid, that *might* be suitable..

If anyone knows of any other sources post here.

I think that may have been me, and the site you recommend is top
notch,
many
many thanks. I have my eye on one of the smaller models, £24 inc VAT
and
delivery, not bad, all I need to do now is work out how to
fit/attach
it
to
the waterbutts at the top of the garden. Then work up the energy to
actually
fit it !!!

Cheers

Glad to be of help.. I had just got their new catalogue and seeing
those rang a bell somewhere in the back of my mind. I would guess you
just need to attach a long pipe to the base of the pump and mount it
on
something but not sure how well this will work.. Let us know if it
does..

What I am keeping my eye out for is an old style 'stirrup' type pump
or
similar.. That said solar power is getting more feasible for gardens.

Raintanks do a small pump for water nuts and suchlike I think.. Hmmm
Might take a look.

I paid the "local" swindon machinemart a visit the other day, and was
told
that these, "fully functional" pumps are meant as ornamental objects,
which
I thought was a bit much given their advert which specifically states
they
can pump up to XX metres.
I think I might give up and embrace modern technology and go with a
small
submersible pump, it's just not as romantic though !!!
