Always had a soft spot for these!

I bet this one would need the MOT tester to have a day off after doing this one.
Every suspension and steering component will be worn I’ll vouchsafe!

Still like it though.😁
I have a soft-spot for those as well - Clenchwarton Marsh (or any other similar boggy place)!

Even when those things were new they had more rust than that one is showing, wouldn't mind betting the MoT tester would suffer writers cramp after seeing that thing!

Clenchwarton! You’re a bugger for Bright Lights.😁

I remember thundering through that poor village on the way to Wissington before the A17 was rerouted.
Will be down there in early July, heading for Burnham Overy. Love the area mate.
It’ll give Baby a run! 😁

Oh What Have I Done.......

Well still total radio silence from the seller on FB???? This one had been niggling me for the last few days whilst hoping to get a response every time I refresh the FB page.

The weekend of shopping for house stuff with the missus tipped me over the edge, I've just sent offer to buy unseen at his £1k so hopefully it might prompt at least a reply???

Is FB marketplace known for lack of responses to queries ??? Never used before.

Cheers
Steve

What's the worst that can happen????

You can turn around and come home bud. Chalk it up to experience.

That’s as bad as it can get.

I hear your lack of concern on the seller’s regard.

You too can go quiet.

😀😀 Harsh, but possibly true.....

I've told myself, if I get no response this week, then to forget about it and move on.....
