Have you been to look at it? Or have you just offered money?
I'd want to go look at it first before agreeing price. Looks nice, but I'd want a good look at the metalwork painted black, and how well the poptop has been fitted.
Check that he has the prop, and make sure it has a syncro gearbox not a 2WD one. Take it for a drive too, get some speed up and check it doesn't pop out of any gears.
Good luck :ok

Make sure that you have a knowledgeable person look at that van for you. It's going to be very difficult to check anything otherwise. :ok

Also check with Aidan to see if it is still under warranty.

Looks like a pretty good, usable Syncro, if everything checks out.
