according to dvla records it's a diesel and there's no way a crosser is going to fit in the back!
Shun't bid at all until you've had a look. Have you contacted the bloke to make sure he'll run the auction to the end? Most don't if someone comes up with a good offer. You could ask him the reserve too, most folks'll tell you what it is.
If chassis & bulkhead are good, the injun sounds sweet & the gearbox is sound it'd probably be worth a punt as a base veekal.
Good advice
Assuming the metal and engine are sound what do you value it at? I really don't have much idea. I was guessing about 2-2.5K?
