I wonder if the seller ever sorted out "the fuel pump issues" he told me about in a message; he bought it aware of this apparently, but has omitted to mention this in the ebay listing.....

A couple of weeks ago I did, indeed, offer £1.2 k- £1.5k to the seller, subject to viewing, driving etc; he told me he "had been told it was worth between £3k & £7k". Like he says though- not from people wanting to buy it.

Best of luck to him in getting a mahoosive profit; hope it makes him feel really good. I have lost interest, my spare cash is going into tidying up the boat and Laura can carry on driving the Land Rover for work.

If it goes for more than £1.5k I'll eat my hat (but I do keep a specially tasty edible hat for just such situations as we are in the approaching the Summer Silly Season :roll: )

How did that hat taste? :oops:

I keep a Pork Pie hat for exactly this sort of situation :lol:

I still say it wasn't worth the money though, odd it hasn't resurfaced yet....
:ok
What a long strange trip it's been
