Tom,
have you seen this
http://www.astrobuysell.com/uk/propview.php?view=55912
going at a similar price to the one youre looking at. !!!

now, its more than likely sold, but if you put up a wanted add, you might get a hit.

Very nice! I would need to sell the new car and buy a van if I was to go for something that big.
