My dad had an old Thames 400e van about 5/6 years ago and went up to Nat's yard to look at an old Vauxhall with a friend who wanted to buy the Vauxhall. When they got to his yard they found the Vauxhall was a bit more "cosmetically challenged " than his Autotrader advert had made out. While talking to Nat my dad mentioned that he had an old Thames 400e Van but was thinking of selling it on. Nat jumped on this and said that he was interested in the 400e but nowhere near the price my dad wanted. As it happened my dad had already promised someone first refusal on the van anyway and told nat this but he left his number with Nat ( bad mistake! ) for something else. Nat rung a few times after that over the following weeks and got arsey on the phone when he realised that my dad had let this other guy have the van, although Nat did not want to up his price but this other guy paid what my dad wanted. That was it really but after that and the crappy Vauxhall my dad wouldn't go near him, regardless of what he had for sale.
