Well done Dee. That's very exciting.
You'll get to look at it before you pay in full I presume or is it being delivered?

It's kind of a non-optimal arrangement that I warn anybody else of.... Envelope of used Euros outside a ferry port.... We live in interesting times.

Ohhh that sounds intriguing if not a little dangerous. However, I'm sure it'll work out fine. Just don't go all dewy eyed over the upholstery and get underneath with a prodder.
Are we likely to know who's bringing it over for you? There are quite a few good guys out there.
Looking forward to a full report.

No, but if he's doing it regularly, he's got a reputation to uphold.
There are lots of folk who get their vans from the Netherlands and appear to have had very good deals.

Pleased, delighted, slightly terrified. Feel we have chanced upon a beautifully kept example and now have a responsibility not to wreck it! It's astonishingly well preserved - a little wear and one or two very minor mods. Thanks Alex, you did us proud.
