Well-used 1986 Specialized Rockhopper, owned since new. The seat tube is 19.5in centre to centre, which I guess is a modern medium - I'm 5ft 8.
It's pretty scuffed up but no structural rust, and apart from the front hub being stiff it's quite well behaved in terms of stopping, starting, steering and shifting. It's got the original friction shifters, brakes/levers, stem, seatpost, cranks/chainset, front mech and front hub, and I have the original Deerhead rear mech for spares or repair, and possibly the original Specialized seatpost QR somewhere.
£250 + any postage, though pickup would be great if possible - Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
