Os that the burgundy one?

Im a bit dubious as its been laid up for around a decade and they expect the new owner to do the recommissioning. I'd be more interested if they fitted 4 new tyres, new battery, refurbished the calipers and fitted new brakes, stripped and cleaned the carb, all the fluids, got it running and serviced it properly, and wouldnt mind paying the extra for that work.

As it stands they want the buyer to take the risk, and for the time and effort involved, even if no nasty surprises come to light, its probably easier to just buy another one.

Aye, happen so.

I’d have look if I was in the market. As you say though, if it was easy they’d do it !🤪
