Well, if you're quick enough to spot the bargain and be the first to say 'yes'.

Gave mine and all tooling away including cabinet.

Could get a decent lathe for £2.5k

Myford are just down the road from me, in the unit opposite RDG who bought 'em.

 

[brightspark]

i wonder who bought them and what they are using them for

 

[roofman]

Ive had 2 myfords and i know they have there fans who sware by them but i found them primative in its construction with flat bed and oiling cups on the headstock ect and felt i never had a real lathe..I know they fetch good money but honestly i just cant see why

There are loads of accessories available for them
Many models were built around the ML7 lathe

On the same page they list "Similar items" and there is, indeed, another Myford 7 that looks the same model and shinier.
