Had a result with this in the end !

Offered the chap £125 which he accepted but only if I could collect - it was going to be a 4hr round trip so said I would try and arrange something in the next week or so.....

Then he contacts me on Sunday and says if I get it promptly, I can have it for £100 !!

Gave him an extra tenner to drop if off to a company near him who we deal with and one of our drivers picked it up and brought it back to me today !

Happy days ! Just got to get a tyre for it now and we're away !
