Hi Mark, Birmingham. Will travel.

What does it need?
How long's the floor?
Tail lift or not?
How much are you asking?

Also,

What's the mileage?
Any receipts / history , cambelt change

I'm guessing it's the white one in your avatar.
Looks like 7'6" height in box(?)

Ok I am in southend on sea, Essex is that too far. I believe it has a 13 6 box but i will have to double check the problem is the wings need replacing I have bought 2 new wings which will come with it it also has a problem where it sometimes jumps out of 4th gear someone said it could be the selector but I wouldn't want to confirm that

this is the gumtree ad I did have http://essex.gumtree.com/essex/46/48862446.html

I was after £1000 but Im open to offers

Thanks.
Ok wings included - are they bolt or weld on?

Ad says tail lift but it looks like there isn't one (I don't want one anyway, too heavy - didn't we speak about this months ago and you said you didn't have one and then somone wanted a piano moving straight after I said taikl lifts are unnecessary except for pianos?!)

Would you measure it please, looks less than 13'6" along floor - don't know why but it's seems very common to have to dimensions wrong, either longer or shorter. I think most people just guess it LOL

No tail lift I tried to copy and paste someone elses add so no tail lift

I think the wings are weld on otherwise I would have done it myself I did measure some time ago I'm sure its 13 6

The wings are welded on. HOWEVER they arnt structural and new ones can be fitted however you like (within reason) screws/rivets/glue etc. To remove them there are about 30 spot welds on each that need drilling out
