Hi
Mike and Brian (Snail)....
Yes...I've been waiting for this!...
Frankly, he amuses me with the attempts to hide corrosion, and the gaudy throws , plastic glasses, and so on, but he's no worse than any other seller. The secret is revealed on these very pages within the Forum...study, understand, sally forth and buy with knowledge...or take your chances , and moan later....any second hand purchase is going to cost money in repairs, as the secret's in the description...."It ain't" new"....and someone , somewhere has thrashed it!. If you don't know what you're buying, take a friend who does!. I've bought a few rubbish cars, but I knew they were , and I knew they would be a resto. project. I bought a Type 2 with a sparkly new MOT that I knew would fail just at a glance, and I knew before I went to see it, that the bottom 8 inches all round would need completely re-metalling, and I wasn't wrong!....The whole lot took years...BUT, there are those folk who expect a "runner" for very little money....What pleases me is the folk who ask questions on here BEFORE going to buy!...there's information in abundance!
To sum up, old Bill Shakespeare had it right....
"To Buy or not to Buy, that is the question....whether 'tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous mis-purchase"...
Cheers
Helen
In the beginning there was nothing , then God said "Let there be Light".....There was still nothing , but ,by crikey, you could see it better.
