First off I know it's not the done thing to discuss current Ebay auctions here, but at the moment there's an Aurora lever up for grabs so naturally using one myself I had a bit of a squizz.
So here's what I can tell from the pics, compared to mine it is a later build I believe mine is a early 70's this one looks to be later.
The surround and and top look non genuine, looks like they have been fabricated and not very neatly at that.
These machines have two types of HX, a horseshoe type entering and exiting through the end plate and piped up to the group mount which this doesn't have, the other HX runs straight through the boiler to the group mount, but this one has the HX feed line disconnected, I don't know what's going on here.
There's also a dipper tube model but the one seen on this site features a larger boiler.
The drip tray doesn't look right, it looks like it's off something else to me, the drainer looks made up, mine is cast.
And the knobs appear to have been cut down.
A picture's worth a thousand words here's a link to a nice example with the earlier HX, Aurora Brugnetti Europa/Termozona
If considering bidding I suggest doing a bit of research first.
