Thanks RIchard,
In a recent post I gathered that Bulkhead and chassis are the two major
things to look for, and as I am unable to travel to see her before
bidding - I think this one might be a bit of a risk! I gather that
galvanized chassis is a big plus - which might be something to look for. Is there
anything rather than a description of condition I should look for
regarding the bulkhead? I think I will sift through ebay and maybe autotrader
tonight and have a look for some more. I intend to post them here -
maybe you would be so kind as to look at a few and give me your opinion. I
think this would help me understand what to look for and how to spot a
nice one. Though I look forward to looking after her once I own her - I
don't want a major project at this time. Thanks again for your answer.
