Gareth - this has been previously advertised on EBay by the same person so I'm guessing it's been relisted ?

oops.....must have missed it previously from this seller.....

I have seen it before but thought it sold.........
it was just the threat of scrappage if it didn't sell which concerned me more.........

obviously a little bluff!!!!

I would have expected a start price nearer to the scrap value if that was a genuine comment - perhaps starting at £50 would get some interest (well, it would from me :D ).

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

'Twas me as I didn't want it to be scrapped (as the seller suggested) but I'll certainly put it to good use as I've got a couple of hardtop projects to start with. The only issue right now is getting it back to base! Anyone got a trailer or know where I can hire one? Failing that I'll have to hire a large van......

The seller originally wanted £1300 then £900 and then about £500 and then it came down to the present price.

Regards

A Luton van with a tail lift can transport this.

Just incase anyone was wondering.

I agree with Phil. I used a Luton I picked up at Northgate Vehicle Hire Limited in Southampton. 65 quid per day. My friend and I heaved it inside using the lift gate once it was hanging on the main floor. It is now my friend's shop in Wiseton. Great deal. It would have been easier with a few more helpers to lift it, but we got it in the van and headed north.
