Ok, I had hoped this day was far away but my recent retirement, relocation (and order of a new motorcaravan!) means that my beloved 90 has to be sold. 
It is no stranger to this forum (if you search my user name you will see some of the work I have done on threads I created) but I have tried to condense the spec and work done into a concise format (see below). I am of course happy to receive any questions, provide further details, photos etc.
Needless to say that the price I am asking is nothing like the sum I have spent on the vehicle over the years so don't think the price is an attempt to recover recent costs, it is (I believe) a true valuation of what is an outstanding, solid and future-proofed vehicle. All major components were purchased BRAND NEW at great expense.
I cannot over emphasise how clean and completely corrosion free this vehicle is.
I have not included the Reg but it is age related (i.e. a C-plate) and quite fun, will be disclosed to genuinely interested parties when the time come (as will some security aspects).
No urgent sale required so I am not open to silly offers, I am willing to wait (for months if necessary) for the right buyer to come along and it goes without saying it will be advertised elsewhere.
Located in Oxfordshire.
Price Ā£20,995.
PM replies please.
