Need help identifying espresso machine and grinder

Somebody is selling these, current bid 300 EUR. I can see that this is definitely value for money, but if prices go higher I'd like to know what exactly I'm bidding on.

The espresso machine says 'Moccatronic' and 'Torino(?)', the grinder has no name. Any takers? And any idea on the quality of the products?

Not sure on machine other than it is likely has a Heat Exchanger Boiler, and it also has volumetric dosing and modified E61 group using an electronic 3-Way Solenoid Valve rather than lever operated.

The grinder appears to be manufactured by Ascaso. Whether or not it is branded with the Ascaso name, I cannot say. It might also say Innova. It would be either a conical or flat burr model, both of which have a decent review by Mark Prince over at CoffeeGeek.

Yeah I think you're right on the grinder, Ascaso I1 or I2, 58mm burrs or conical, stepless. That one should be around 300 USD retail.
