That one looks to be a bitsa .  It has the starter pull cover from the original plain old 365 , the dark grey top cover clips from the 365 special . ( The original 365 clips were orange . ) It is not an Xtorque model though .

I would also go with the Dolmar/makita 6100. Good solid old school saw and can't think of a better new saw for the money.

Have you decided what to go for?

[DocMustard]

It is a decision, based on prices I've seen vs my budget, between the Makita EA610045PD (seen at £498) or Husqvarna 555 (seen at £507).

Just check prices include bar and chain, as some prices are for powerhead only

Both around 60cc , both would do the job .
