warninglight Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Some top chod which I've been trying to track down (with the help of nigel bickle!) has appeared on ebay tonight, in Southampton. I'm in Cumbria, so it's not a short run down for a look, and it's too hefty for my towcar to take back. With that in mind, are any shiters at a loose end in the area over the next couple of days who wouldn't mind popping along to get some good photos all over it for me? It seems to have ended up in the hands of a trader who doesn't really know what it is, and can't handle a camera... It's very much a project but I want to get an idea of how complete it is and how much welding it'll need underneath before I try to do a deal including delivery over the phone... Happy to pay in beer/spirits/90s Volvo parts/cash to anyone who can help! TaStephen
mitsisigma01 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 I might be popping down that way on Sunday or Tuesday , what is it you want looking at?
warninglight Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 I'm told the photos were taken in Sway, which I appreciate is a bit away from Southampton! I'll PM you both - and talk to the seller today.
Talbot Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 I'm not a drastic distance from Soton if I can assist. That said, if the car is in Sway near Lymington it's 70 miles from me. I wonder if there is anyone in Bournemouth/Poole, as that's a fair bit closer.
warninglight Posted June 4, 2018 Author Posted June 4, 2018 I've sent a deposit on the strength of 4 crap eBay photos. I'll just take it as it comes I think... Collection (towing) thread will appear this weekend!
lisbon_road Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 I am in Southampton. Sway is actually a way off but might be something I can do?
mitsisigma01 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 I am waiting to hear back from my buddy from the forest, should be up there this afternoon

fordnut Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Good luck, it will be an awesome purchase - it's up there with the Hearse that someone on 'ere drove back from the continent.
